Niels Lohmann dec05e7f7a Share scalar serialization between dump_internal and dump_value ...

dump_value()'s cases for string, binary, boolean, number_integer,
number_unsigned, number_float, discarded and null were a byte-for-byte
copy of dump_internal()'s (added together in #5285 for the iterative
fallback path). Any future change to scalar output had to be made in
both places, or the recursive and depth-limited paths would silently
start producing different bytes.

Extract the shared cases into a private dump_scalar() and have both
dump_internal() and dump_value() call it. Output is unchanged: dump(),
dump(4), dump(-1,' ',true) and the replace/ignore error_handler_t
variants are byte-identical over the json_test_data corpus before and
after, and dump() throughput on a scalar-heavy document is unaffected.

Part of #5709
