Address the review of json_view element access

From gregmarr's review of #5622:

- count() counts every member with the key, so count(key) > 1 detects
  duplicate keys; it was contains() as 0/1 before.
- get_to() passes types that get<T>() does not convert directly to
  from_json with the existing value, as basic_json::get_to() does, so that
  a from_json which sets only the fields present keeps the others.
- array_index() checks the empty token and "-" first; the results are
  unchanged.
- Docs: no "if an exception is thrown" where a view never changes
  anything; the borrowed source must also stay unmodified; items() on a
  temporary view is safe; back()/front() notes shortened; the basic_json
  see-also entries say how the view's results can differ.
