Niels Lohmann c093f3beb3 Fix IWYU findings for json.hpp/json_fwd.hpp/ordered_map.hpp and make CI fail on new ones (#5715 item 4c)
ci_single_binaries ran IWYU via CMake's CXX_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE launcher
property, which only printed "Warning: include-what-you-use reported
diagnostics" without failing the build: CMake's own __run_co_compile
wrapper does not propagate the launched tool's exit code, so even
`-Xiwyu --error` could never fail `cmake --build` this way. Verified
this empirically by injecting a deliberately-unused #include and
confirming the build still exited 0.

Fix the findings from the last recorded run (issue #5715 item 4, log
35829411620):
- ordered_map.hpp: add <new> (placement new) and
  nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp; drop <memory> (std::allocator is
  still visible transitively via <vector>, confirmed by full local and
  containerized test suite runs).
- json_fwd.hpp: drop <memory> (same reasoning). Keep every forward
  declaration IWYU wanted removed (adl_serializer, basic_json,
  json_pointer, ordered_map): this file's only job is to forward-declare
  them for downstream users, so "nothing in this TU uses them" is
  expected, not a real finding. Mark each with `// IWYU pragma: keep`.
- json.hpp: add <cmath>, <cstdint>, <set>, <type_traits>,
  <unordered_map>, and the detail/abi_macros.hpp, detail/input/json_sax.hpp,
  detail/meta/detected.hpp, thirdparty/hedley/hedley.hpp includes IWYU
  says it needs. Do NOT remove adl_serializer.hpp,
  detail/conversions/from_json.hpp, detail/conversions/to_json.hpp,
  detail/macro_unscope.hpp, or ordered_map.hpp as IWYU suggests: nothing
  else in include/nlohmann includes adl_serializer.hpp or
  ordered_map.hpp, so basic_json<>'s own default template arguments
  (JSONSerializer = adl_serializer, and ordered_json = basic_json<ordered_map>)
  would lose their complete type; detail/macro_unscope.hpp is what
  undoes the JSON_* macros detail/macro_scope.hpp defines earlier in
  this same file, and removing it leaks those macros into every
  translation unit that includes <nlohmann/json.hpp>. Verified by
  actually removing them in a scratch test: the header still "compiles"
  stand-alone but ordered_json and every macro-using translation unit
  break. Marked each `// IWYU pragma: keep`.

Enforce it with `iwyu_tool` (ships with IWYU, e.g. as /usr/bin/iwyu_tool
on Debian/Ubuntu) instead of relying on the launcher property: it reads
compile_commands.json (now exported project-wide under JSON_CI) and
does return a real exit code for its own analysis, independent of
CMake's wrapper. ci_single_binaries now runs it over every
src_single/*.cpp with `-Xiwyu --error`, so a *new* finding fails CI.

json.hpp itself is excluded from that hard gate: even after every fix
above, IWYU's suggestion for one remaining symbol (a container
`swap, operator!=` used somewhere via a templated comparator) is not
deterministic — repeated, otherwise-identical containerized runs
reported <set>, then <unordered_map>, then <map> as "the" header to
add/remove for the exact same source. Gating a whole CI job on a
nondeterministic suggestion would make ci_single_binaries flaky rather
than informative, so json.hpp keeps the existing informational warning
(still shown during its normal compile) without failing the build on
it. Every other one of the ~50 single-header checks is included in the
hard gate.

#5715 item 4c. 4a (scan-build) and 4b (Infer) are separate commits.

Verified: full local ctest suite (129/129) and the ci_single_binaries
target itself both green in a containerized silkeh/clang:dev run
(matching the actual CI job) after this fix; a deliberately-reintroduced
unused #include in ordered_map.hpp was confirmed to fail
`cmake --build ... --target ci_single_binaries` (exit 2) with this
change, and to pass without it, on the same container/IWYU version CI
uses. `make check-amalgamation` is clean. Compiled with Clang and GCC
at -std=c++11/14/17/20 locally with no new warnings.
