1c63a120b6 docs: document how discarded values are removed by the parser callback (#5354)
Follow-up to #5342, which fixed the parser callback leaving a discarded
member behind when an array or a value under an object key was rejected.
The documentation of parser_callback_t only stated that discarded values
in structured types are skipped, without saying that this covers object
parents and that the key is removed along with the value, so there was no
way to tell the fixed behavior from the buggy one.

Spell out the discarding rules, add an example that exercises the cases
the fix repaired, and correct the return value description: a discarded
top-level value is replaced by null, not by "an empty discarded object".

631e667fe5 Document a duplicate-object-key rejection recipe (#5259)
* 📝 Document a duplicate-object-key rejection recipe

RFC 8259 leaves handling of duplicate object keys to the implementation;
this library silently keeps only the last value for a repeated key.
Discussion #5085 asked for an opt-in rejection mode. Decision: don't
change library behavior, but document the existing parser-callback
workaround instead.

Adds a "Recipe: rejecting duplicate object keys" section to
parser_callbacks.md, adapted from a community-contributed workaround.
Fixed an off-by-one bug in the original snippet: object_start reports
the depth of the object's parent, while key events inside that object
report depth+1, so indexing the per-depth key set with the same depth
in both places caused an out-of-bounds access on nested objects.
Verified the published snippet compiles and behaves correctly for flat
duplicates, nested duplicates, sibling objects sharing key names, and
arrays of objects.

* Cross-link the duplicate-key recipe with the existing object_t behavior docs

object_t.md and features/types/index.md already document that duplicate
object keys resolve to an unspecified value (RFC 8259 leaves this to the
implementation). The new recipe's intro overstated this as a guaranteed
"last value wins" rule, which isn't true in general -- parsing text keeps
the last value, but constructing from an initializer list keeps the first.
Reworded the recipe to point at object_t's "unspecified" behavior instead
of asserting a specific rule, and added cross-links from both existing
pages to the new recipe.

* Turn the duplicate-key recipe into a standalone, compiled example

Replace the inline code fence in the "rejecting duplicate object keys"
recipe with a proper docs/mkdocs/docs/examples/*.cpp + .output pair,
included via --8<-- like every other example on the site. The .output
file was generated by running it through the project's actual example
build (docs/Makefile: single_include, -std=c++11, -DJSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS=0)
and cross-checked with `make check_output`, and the source passes the
pinned astyle 3.4.13 formatting unchanged.
