from_cbor()/from_msgpack()/from_bson() copied the raw bytes of a decoded text string into the resulting json value without any UTF-8 validation, even though RFC 8949 §3.1 (CBOR) and the MessagePack/BSON specifications all require text strings to be valid UTF-8. Malformed input only failed later, if the value was dump()'d, with a type_error.316 - so the allow_exceptions=false pattern used specifically to get a discarded sentinel instead of an exception did not discard this category of malformed input, unlike every other kind of malformed binary input this library rejects at decode time (see #5529). Fix this at the single choke point shared by BSON/CBOR/MessagePack/UBJSON string reads, binary_reader::get_string(): validate the bytes with the UTF-8 DFA right after they are read, and report failures the same way as every other binary_reader error (parse_error.113), so allow_exceptions and strict discarding behave consistently. get_binary()/binary blob reads are untouched and still accept arbitrary bytes, since only text strings are required to be UTF-8. There were two independent implementations of a UTF-8 validator: the lexer's streaming scanner, and the serializer's Hoehrmann DFA used by dump_escaped_impl(). Rather than write a third, the serializer's decode() function, its utf8d table and the UTF8_ACCEPT/UTF8_REJECT constants are extracted into detail/string_utils.hpp (a low-level header already included before both detail/input/ and detail/output/), alongside a new is_valid_utf8() helper built on the same decode() step. serializer.hpp's dump_escaped_impl() now calls the shared decode(), so there is exactly one UTF-8 validator in the codebase; dump()'s exact type_error.316 messages and byte-index reporting are unchanged (see the added regression-guard test in unit-serialization.cpp).
