Niels Lohmann a96d1b3a1e Avoid std::basic_string<CharType> for non-character output_adapter CharType
output_adapter<CharType, StringType> defaulted StringType to
std::basic_string<CharType>, and (with JSON_NO_IO undefined) always
declared a std::basic_ostream<CharType>&-taking constructor. For
CharType with no non-deprecated std::char_traits specialization (only
std::uint8_t is ever used this way, by the binary writers), simply
naming either type - as an unused default template argument, or as an
unused, never-called constructor's parameter type - instantiates
std::char_traits<CharType> merely to name it, which some standard
libraries mark deprecated: with the library-wide -Wdocumentation
pragma (item 2's other half, left for a later commit) temporarily
removed, an Apple clang 21 / libc++ TU calling json::to_cbor(j, vec)
with std::vector<std::uint8_t>& got one -Wdeprecated-declarations
warning per binary writer at the old output_adapters.hpp:193.

Replaced the eager std::basic_string<CharType> / std::basic_ostream
<CharType> defaults with a bool-tagged partial specialization (not
std::conditional, which requires naming both branches' types up
front regardless of which is selected, reproducing the same warning)
that only ever names std::basic_string<CharType> / std::basic_ostream
<CharType> when CharType is actually one of char, wchar_t, char16_t,
char32_t, or (with __cpp_lib_char8_t) char8_t. For any other
CharType, output_adapter's StringType and ostream-constructor
parameter fall back to two distinct empty placeholder types, kept
distinct so the two constructor overloads do not collide into a
single redeclaration.

Public API / behavior: passing a std::basic_string<std::uint8_t>& or
std::basic_ostream<std::uint8_t>& directly to a binary writer's
output_adapter now fails to compile instead of compiling with a
deprecation warning; this was neither documented nor tested. All
documented uses (std::vector<CharType>, std::basic_ostream<CharType>
and StringType for character CharType) are unaffected.

Verified with Apple clang 21 / libc++, with the two -Wdocumentation*
"ignored" pragma lines in macro_scope.hpp temporarily removed and
-std=c++11/c++20 plus the project's -Weverything flag set: calling
to_cbor/to_msgpack/to_ubjson/to_bjdata/to_bson/to_bon8 on a
std::vector<std::uint8_t> now produces no char_traits<unsigned char>
(or any other) deprecation warning, while the char-based string- and
ostream-adapter paths, and a to_cbor/from_cbor round trip, still
compile and run correctly; also verified with GCC 16.2.0. Ran the
full local test suite, including the binary-format unit tests
(unit-cbor, unit-msgpack, unit-ubjson, unit-bjdata, unit-bson,
unit-bon8, unit-binary_writer_sinks, unit-binary_formats,
unit-custom-binary-type): 129/129 passing.
