Fix from_json() for enums with underlying type bool (#5679)

get_arithmetic_value() rejects boolean_t, so the default from_json()
for enums failed to compile for an enum whose underlying type is
bool (e.g. enum class Flag : bool { off, on }), even though the
matching to_json() serializes such enums as an unsigned number.

Read the underlying value through number_unsigned_t in that case,
matching what to_json() writes, then cast back to the underlying
type before constructing the enum.

Fixes #5671.
