docs: fix NaN ordering, FILE* locking and binary integer-range statements (#6088)
* docs: state that NaN ordering inside containers depends on the standard When the element-wise comparison of arrays or objects reaches a NaN and a number (or another NaN) before any other difference, the result depends on the language standard. Before C++20 the pair counts as equivalent and the following elements (or the sizes) decide, so [1] <= [NaN] is true. Since C++20 the comparison is unordered and <, <=, >, >= all yield false. Document this on operator<, <=, >, >= and <=>. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: fix the FILE* notes of parse() and the locking promise The performance note of parse() said a FILE* is read one character at a time. With glibc and the Apple C library the characters in the FILE's buffer are scanned in bulk; only elsewhere is it one character at a time. The file is locked once only where the C library has unlocked stdio functions (not on musl, MinGW, newlib, with JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO, or under MSan). Qualify the promise on parse.md, sax_parse.md, the parsing page and the performance page. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: fix integer ranges in the MessagePack and BJData tables number_integer_t is std::int64_t, so number_integer cannot hold values above 9223372036854775807; those are number_unsigned. The MessagePack row for uint 64 listed the range up to 18446744073709551615, and the BJData table had a uint64 row for number_integer that can never be selected. The CBOR table was already corrected. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: name the macros that turn off FILE* locking and bulk scans parse() and sax_parse() now say that the FILE* is locked unless JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO is defined to 1, and the input-source table and the performance page name JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN and JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO with what each turns off.

Contiguous inputs (strings, string views, vectors, arrays, pointer ranges) are the fastest to parse. A
|
||||
`#!cpp std::istream` comes close: the parser scans the characters its stream buffer holds in bulk, without reading
|
||||
ahead, so the stream is left exactly where it would be after reading one character at a time. A `#!cpp FILE*` is
|
||||
read one character at a time, but the file is locked only once, so other threads that use the same `FILE` object
|
||||
wait until parsing is done. See [input sources and performance](../../features/parsing/index.md#input-sources-and-performance),

[`JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN`](../macros/json_disable_stream_bulk_scan.md), and
