Niels Lohmann 3fa93dac65 docs: document std::pair/std::tuple serializing as an object for string-keyed pairs (#5442)
A std::pair or std::tuple whose every element is itself a two-element array
with a string first element (e.g. std::pair<std::string, int>) serializes to
a JSON object instead of a JSON array, because to_json builds the value with a
brace initializer and the initializer-list object-detection rule fires. The
resulting object cannot be read back into the original type and collapses
duplicate keys. Document this quirk in the conversions guide, together with the
unaffected cases and the idiom to force an array.
