9c71689715 Convert long doubles under a multi-byte decimal point completely
The strtold fallback, which is left only for long double formats that
are not binary64 (x87, binary128), substituted the first byte of the
locale's decimal point for '.'. Under a locale whose decimal point is
longer than one byte, such as fa_IR.UTF-8 or ar_EG.UTF-8 (U+066B),
strtold stopped there and the value was truncated at the decimal point.
A longer decimal point is now put into a copy of the token.

The test "locale with a multi-byte decimal point" now compares the long
double values with those of the "C" locale; with x87 long doubles it
failed before.

Fixes #5660.

44ec53c77b Convert float and double with the library's own correctly rounded parser
float, double, and long double where it is IEEE-754 binary64 (MSVC, Apple
arm64) are now converted by the library itself, correctly rounded and
independent of the locale and of the C and C++ libraries:

- The token is split into sign, significand w (at most 19 digits), and
  decimal exponent q, using the positions of the decimal point and the
  exponent that the scanners already recorded, so no character is
  classified again.
- Clinger's fast path where w and 10^|q| are exact.
- Eisel-Lemire otherwise, now templated for binary32 and binary64.
- For tokens with more than 19 digits whose w and w + 1 round differently,
  an exact big-integer comparison with the midpoint between the two
  candidates (the digit comparison of fast_float, simplified).

This replaces the separate token walks of Clinger's fast path and of
Eisel-Lemire, the significant-digit gate that avoided the former, and, for
float and double, std::from_chars and the locale-aware strtod. std::from_chars
and strtold remain only for other long double formats (x87, binary128,
double-double) and for types that are not IEEE-754. Values are bit-identical
to before wherever the previous conversion was correctly rounded; tokens
converted in a locale with a multi-byte decimal point are now also exact.
Overflow still gives out_of_range.406, underflow a signed zero.

convert_float() is the entry point for other parsers of JSON text: it
converts like the lexer, without allocation for binary32/binary64.

Tests: exact-bit tests for double and float (ties, subnormal and overflow
boundaries, huge exponents, more digits than any midpoint), Eisel-Lemire for
binary32, the round trips of 200,000 doubles and 100,000 floats without
declines, 508 generated hard cases with the expected bits of both formats
(float_hard_cases.hpp) through the converter and both scanners, and
JSON-level overflow/underflow checks for double and float. The locale tests
now check the values in a locale with a multi-byte decimal point.

Docs: the statements that parsing uses strtod/strtof/strtold; the fast_float
credit now names the digit comparison.

633de8e44b Fix CI: clang-tidy and GCC -Wnoexcept in the locale test (#5613)
#5597 was merged before all of its CI jobs had run, and two of them fail
on develop now, and so on every pull request:

- ci_clang_tidy: cert-err33-c for the two std::setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C")
  calls whose result was discarded. Check the result, like the other
  resets in the file.
- ci_test_standards_gcc (20) with GCC 16: -Wnoexcept for the two parser
  callbacks, which cannot throw but were not declared noexcept.

fc03b9912e Look up the locale decimal point at conversion time, not lexer construction (#5597)
* Look up the locale decimal point at conversion time, not lexer construction

The lexer read localeconv()->decimal_point once in its constructor and wrote
that character into token_buffer in place of '.'. The strtod fallback then
used the locale current at conversion time, so an LC_NUMERIC change in
between (parser callback, SAX handler, another thread) truncated the value
in release builds and fired the endptr assertion in debug builds.

token_buffer now always holds '.'. Only the strtof/strtod/strtold fallback
depends on the locale: it looks up the decimal point right before the call,
restores '.' afterwards, and repeats the conversion if the locale changed in
between. As a side effect, std::from_chars and Clinger's fast path now also
apply under locales whose decimal point is not '.'.

Fixes #5198

* Stop the strtod retry loop when the decimal point is unchanged

convert_float_locale_aware() repeated the conversion until strtod
consumed the whole token, assuming an early stop can only mean a locale
change. Under a locale whose decimal point is not a single character
(e.g. the two-byte U+066B of ar_EG.UTF-8, ar_SA.UTF-8, or fa_IR.UTF-8,
all available on macOS), the in-place substitution can never succeed,
so parsing any float that reaches the strtod fallback (for example
3.14159265358979323846 at C++11) hung forever. Before this branch, the
same input was truncated.

Retry only if the decimal point changed since the previous attempt;
otherwise keep the value strtod parsed so far, as before. Add a test
that parses such numbers under a multi-byte decimal point locale; it
hangs without this change.

* Fix -Weffc++ errors in the #5198 locale test

GCC's -Weffc++ (an error in ci_test_gcc and ci_test_standards_gcc)
rejected LocaleSwitchingSax: it has a pointer data member but does not
declare its copy operations, and its vectors are not initialized in the
member initializer list. Store the locale name as a std::string and give
the vectors brace initializers, like SaxEventLogger in
unit-deserialization.cpp.

85f8b21e1c Add tests for uncovered code paths (#5581)
* Add tests for uncovered code paths

Cover code the test suite did not reach, found from the Coveralls report
of develop and a local coverage run of HEAD:

- dump() of every kind of value below the bound of the recursive descent
  (pretty-printed objects, binary values, discarded values, scalars), and
  flushes of the escape and write buffers mid-string and mid-binary
- the iterative comparison: objects with different keys, containers that
  are a prefix of each other, and elements that cannot be ordered, each
  both at the top level and below the nesting bound
- SAX handlers that stop at any event, including the end of a nested
  container, in the BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON and BJData readers
- from_bson/cbor/msgpack/ubjson/bjdata returning a discarded value
  through the iterator and pointer overloads
- JSON Patch, diff, merge_patch and update(..., true) on ordered_json
- smaller gaps: get_allocator(), to_ubjson/to_bjdata into a string,
  value() with an unresolvable JSON pointer, integer/float comparison
  below the integer range and with negative fractions, conversion to a
  custom binary type, std::formatter::parse on a spec without '}',
  unescape() of a lone '~', and the callback parser's start_array()

* Cover more paths that were thought unreachable

- parse_float_fast() declining malformed or inexact input, called
  directly since the lexer only passes well-formed numbers to it
- a UTF-16 high surrogate followed by a unit above the low surrogates
- self-assignment of a const_iterator
- a truncated CBOR string read through non-contiguous iterators
- serializing a long double under the de_DE locale, which undoes the
  locale's decimal point and thousands separator
- values read from a binary format carrying no diagnostic positions,
  with and without a parser callback

Building a std::string from the byte vector converts each byte
