Document values and JSON pointers of json_view

- API pages for get, get_to, get_string, number_token, and value of
  basic_json_view; JSON pointer overloads of operator[], at, and
  contains; links both ways with the basic_json pages
- the feature page describes which conversions copy nothing
- the examples show when the view helps: strings without copies, numbers
  exactly as written, and paths into a large text
