Trim the compiler-appended NUL from wide/UTF string literals too (#5702)

With JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING defined to 1, parsing a wide, UTF-16,
UTF-32, or (C++20) UTF-8 string literal (e.g. json::parse(L"[1]"))
failed with parse_error.101 at the terminating NUL of the literal,
and accept() returned false. The array overload of input_adapter()
only dropped the compiler-added trailing '\0' for arrays of char,
so for wchar_t, char16_t, char32_t, and char8_t arrays that
terminator was passed to the parser as data, which the macro then
rejected.

Broaden the trimming to every character type that a string literal
can use (char, wchar_t, char16_t, char32_t, and, since C++20,
char8_t). Arrays of any other element type (unsigned char,
std::uint8_t, ...), as used for CBOR/MessagePack, are unaffected: a
trailing zero byte there is still read as genuine data.

Fixes #5658.
