Niels Lohmann d4fab0971f Walk the index of json_view through a navigation policy ...

Preparation for editable documents, without a change in behavior: views and
documents get a template parameter Editable (false by default), and every
walk over the index (iterators, lookups, dump(), materialize()) goes
through detail::view::navigation<Editable>. For read-only documents it is
the plain node array, as before, so they compile without any of the edit
handling. For editable documents it also follows the representation of
edits, which this commit defines:

- node flags `edited` (a string or number token in the edit arena),
  `moved` (the elements of an array/object live in a separate sequence),
  and `is_new` (no source position), and link nodes (kind_link) that
  stand for a value stored elsewhere
- document_data::edit_state: the moved sequences, the storage of new
  values, and the edit arena

materialize() now keeps a frame per open container instead of returning
to the end of a closed one, as the serializer does, so that it can
follow moved sequences. Floats whose token lives in the edit arena (also
"nan", "inf", "-inf") are converted out of line. dump() copies only
strings of the source without escaping, and shrink_to_fit() leaves the
node array in place once there are edits, as they link into it.
