Niels Lohmann c7df23666f Make view lookups last-wins and chained access safe
* Lookups (operator[], at, find, contains, count, value, JSON pointers)
  return the last member of a duplicate key, as materialize() and
  parse() keep it.
* operator[] on a discarded view returns a discarded view instead of
  throwing, so v["a"]["b"] is safe for a missing "a".
* operator[] and at() take any integer type (not only int and size_t),
  fixing ambiguous calls with unsigned, long, std::int64_t, ...
* Fix the operator[] documentation, which claimed a discarded view for
  a type mismatch where type_error.305 is thrown.
