Niels Lohmann ce28c722bc Allow the same type for number_integer_t and number_unsigned_t (#5815)
* Allow the same type for number_integer_t and number_unsigned_t

basic_json did not compile with NumberUnsignedType == NumberIntegerType
because overloads on both types collided. Such a basic_json now stores
every integer as number_integer: the colliding overloads take a
placeholder type, unsigned C++ integers are converted to number_integer_t,
and value_t::number_unsigned maps to number_integer.

Also fixes two problems this configuration would hit: the unsigned
integer parser accepted values that wrap around to negative numbers, and
dump() overflowed when computing the absolute value of the minimum.

A repeated NumberFloatType gets a static_assert.

* ✅ skip patch test on GCC 5 to avoid internal compiler error

* Fix CI: name the unsigned overload type through template parameters

basic_json used number_unsigned_overload_t<basic_json> while the class was
still incomplete. MSVC rejected it as a recursive alias declaration and GCC
4.9, 5 and 7 crashed with an internal compiler error. basic_json now uses
number_unsigned_overload_type<NumberIntegerType, NumberUnsignedType>, which
also makes the GCC 5 workaround in the patch test unnecessary.

Infer reported a null dereference for the number_unsigned case in
from_json, which cannot happen for a basic_json whose number_unsigned_t is
number_integer_t; assert it.
