Niels Lohmann c634c24877 Use standard library helpers where available, with C++11 fallbacks
Add detail helpers that call the standard library function when the
library provides it (checked with the __cpp_lib_* feature-test macros, so
no new ABI-tag macros) and a C++11 implementation otherwise:

- detail::clamp (std::clamp): by value, so that static constexpr members
  need no out-of-line definition before C++17; used in json_view's dump()
  buffer sizing, where step() can now be a static constexpr member.
- detail::bit_cast (std::bit_cast): replaces dtoa_impl::reinterpret_bits
  and the memcpy bit copies in the number parser, to_chars, the json_view
  serializer, and binary_writer::to_char_type.
- detail::byteswap (std::byteswap): one implementation instead of the
  binary writer's own byte_swap() overloads and the bswap chain in
  to_chars' store_msb_first().
- count_leading_zeros/count_trailing_zeros: two 32-bit _BitScanReverse/
  _BitScanForward calls for MSVC x86/ARM32 instead of the loop, and
  std::countl_zero/countr_zero for compilers without builtins.
- conjunction, disjunction, negation, bool_constant, and uncvref_t map to
  their std counterparts in C++17/C++20.

Builtins and intrinsics stay ahead of the <bit> functions, as MSVC's
std::countl_zero checks for LZCNT at run time unless AVX2 is enabled.

The generated code is unchanged with Clang (C++11/20/23, arm64 and
x86-64) and GCC 16 for parsing, dumping, and the binary formats. The
binary reader keeps its own byte_swap() and the writer its memcpy calls:
the smaller code from detail::byteswap/std::bit_cast there made GCC 16
inline get_number()/write_number() differently, which slowed reading by
10-18 % and writing by about 1 %.
