Check the fuzzers' UBJSON/BJData round-trip invariants in the unit tests (#5569)

* Check the fuzzers' UBJSON/BJData round-trip invariants in the unit tests

The strongest correctness checks for the UBJSON and BJData writers lived
only in the OSS-Fuzz drivers: anything from_ubjson()/from_bjdata()
returns must serialize with every option combination, parse back, and
re-serialize stably. Those checks only run at OSS-Fuzz, so regressions
surfaced days later as external reports - the same BJData assert pair
was reported five times over three years, and #5494's harness change
was followed by OSS-Fuzz 563659413 within a day.

Add "UBJSON round-trip invariants" and "BJData round-trip invariants"
test cases that run the drivers' checks on a fixed, deterministic corpus
(tests/src/round_trip_corpus.hpp): integer and float boundaries,
non-finite numbers, strings, binary values, optimized containers, deep
nesting, the JData annotated-array matrix, and seeded random containers.
They also check two properties the drivers do not: the first round trip
preserves the value, and re-serializing reproduces the exact bytes. For
BJData both exclude values containing a binary value, which is read back
as an array of integers unless it was written as a Draft 3 optimized
binary array; this carve-out is now documented in bjdata.md. Run against
the headers before #5542, the BJData test fails, including on the shape
from OSS-Fuzz 563659413.

Also document how OSS-Fuzz reports are handled (reference them as
"OSS-Fuzz: <id>", turn the reproducer into a unit test, keep drivers and
unit tests in sync) in tests/fuzzing.md, and link it from the PR
template and the quality assurance page.

* Add the OSS-Fuzz reproducers for 474400817 and 474480402 as unit tests

Following the convention added to tests/fuzzing.md, the reproducers of
the two BJData fuzzer asserts tracked since January are now unit tests:

- 474400817 (assert(false)): an empty object _ArraySize_ was written as
  the ND-array header length, which from_bjdata() could not read back.
  Fixed by #5455.

- 474480402 (to_bjdata(j2, false, false) == vec2): a one-byte Draft 3
  binary array is written in Draft 2 mode as a uint8 array and then
  re-serialized with the int8 marker. This is the documented exception to
  byte stability, not a library bug; OSS-Fuzz closed it after #5494
  relaxed the harness to value stability. The test pins the exact bytes
  so the exception stays deliberate.

The 563659413 reproducer is already a unit test (#5542). A comment also
ties the existing UBJSON excessive-count test to the timeout OSS-Fuzz
reported for that shape (testcase 6347769435193344).

OSS-Fuzz: 474400817
OSS-Fuzz: 474480402

* Fix GCC -Weffc++ and -Wuseless-cast warnings in the round-trip corpus

Initialize the atoms in the member initialization list, and drop the cast of
the generator's result, which already is std::size_t on 64-bit Linux.

The mapping is **complete** in the sense that any BJData value can be converted to a JSON value.
!!! info "Round trips"
A value returned by [`from_bjdata`](../../api/basic_json/from_bjdata.md) can be serialized with
[`to_bjdata`](../../api/basic_json/to_bjdata.md) using any combination of options and parsed back into an equal
value, and serializing that value again with the same options produces the same bytes. The exception is binary
values: they are only written as an optimized binary array (`[$B`) if Draft 3 is enabled and both `use_size` and
`use_type` are set. Otherwise, they are written as arrays of integers and parsed back as such (see the notes on
binary values above), and serializing such an array again may choose different, but equally valid, type markers.
The bytes can then differ, but parsing them again yields the same value.
