Niels Lohmann 75efd6b1c3 Test suite: cover untested macro configs, std::formatter branches, patch_inplace, and fix a duplicate TEST_CASE name (#5492)
* test: cover JSON_NO_IO, JSON_THROW/TRY/CATCH_USER, JSON_SKIP_LIBRARY_VERSION_CHECK, and JSON_DisableEnumSerialization in CI (#5423)

These four supported configuration macros were never actually compiled
anywhere in the test matrix:

- JSON_NO_IO and the JSON_THROW_USER/JSON_TRY_USER/JSON_CATCH_USER trio
  are exercised together in a new tests/src/unit-no_io_and_user_exceptions.cpp,
  which is automatically picked up by the existing unit-*.cpp test glob and
  thus built across the whole standard test matrix.
- JSON_SKIP_LIBRARY_VERSION_CHECK is exercised by a new, dedicated
  tests/src/skip_library_version_check.cpp, compiled directly by the new
  ci_test_skiplibraryversioncheck target in cmake/ci.cmake: the scenario it
  simulates (mixing two differently-versioned inclusions of the library)
  unavoidably triggers the compiler's own "macro redefined" warning, which
  would fail under the library's own -Weverything/-Werror unit test matrix
  for a reason unrelated to the macro under test.
- JSON_DisableEnumSerialization already had #if-guarded tests in several
  unit-*.cpp files (from #4384), but no CMake target ever actually set the
  JSON_DisableEnumSerialization CMake option, so that guarded code was never
  compiled. Add ci_test_disableenumserialization, mirroring the existing
  ci_test_noimplicitconversions/ci_test_noglobaludls targets. Building the
  full test suite with this option on surfaced one real, narrow gap: get<T>()
  on std::vector<std::byte> (used by unit-regression2.cpp's custom BinaryType
  tests) relies on std::byte being handled via enum serialization, so add the
  same #if-guard convention to the two affected SECTIONs there.

Both new CI targets are added to the ci_cmake_options matrix in
.github/workflows/ubuntu.yml, alongside the existing ci_test_* targets.

* test: cover multi-digit widths and bare alignment in std::formatter<json> (#5423)

Every existing std::formatter spec with a width used a single digit (e.g.
"{:2}"), so the width-parsing loop's accumulation of a second/third digit was
never exercised; add multi-digit width cases. Likewise, every existing spec
with an alignment character also had an explicit fill character, so the
bare-alignment branch (e.g. "{:<}", with no fill) was never exercised; add
cases asserting it keeps the default space indent character.

* test: add coverage for patch_inplace() (#5423)

patch_inplace() had no unit test at all. Add a happy-path case mirroring an
existing patch() example, and -- more importantly -- pin its distinguishing
contract versus patch(): when a multi-operation JSON Patch fails partway
through, patch_inplace() (which mutates the document directly, operation by
operation) leaves whatever operations already succeeded applied, whereas
patch() (which applies the patch to an internal copy that is discarded on
exception) leaves the original completely untouched either way. Verified
empirically against the current implementation before writing the assertions.

* test: fix duplicate TEST_CASE name in unit-no-mem-leak-on-adl-serialize.cpp (#5423)

Two distinct TEST_CASEs were both named "check_for_mem_leak_on_adl_to_json-2".
doctest allows duplicate names, so both still ran, but it makes
--test-case=<name> filtering and reporting ambiguous. Rename the second one
to "-3", continuing the existing "-1"/"-2" sequence.

* test: add direct coverage for the std::u8string to_json overload (#5423)

The ADL to_json overload for std::basic_string<char8_t, ...> was only ever
reached indirectly, via std::filesystem::path::u8string(). Add a test that
constructs a json value directly from a std::u8string, gated the same way as
the overload itself (include/nlohmann/detail/conversions/to_json.hpp): behind
both the std::filesystem::path feature guard and __cpp_lib_char8_t, since the
overload only exists when both are satisfied.

* test: verify move semantics of byte_container_with_subtype's rvalue constructors (#5423)

The two rvalue-reference constructors were never distinguished from their
const-lvalue-reference twins by any test. Add a "move semantics" section that
constructs from an rvalue std::vector, checks the resulting container keeps
the exact same buffer address as the source (a stronger check than just
observing the source ended up empty, since a copy-then-clear could do that
too), and confirms the source vector was left empty.

* Guard patch_inplace() partial-application test against JSON_NOEXCEPTION

The "distinguishing contract vs patch(): partial application on
failure" test relies on doc.patch_inplace(patch) actually throwing so
the partially-applied state can be observed right after the throw
point. Under ci_test_noexceptions, JSON_THROW() calls std::abort()
instead of throwing, and doctest's --no-throw test filter (which that
CI job passes) makes CHECK_THROWS_AS() a no-op that never even
evaluates its expression -- so patch_inplace() is never called and the
follow-up assertions fail against the untouched original document.

Guard the whole SECTION with #if !defined(JSON_NOEXCEPTION), following
the same convention already used elsewhere in the test suite (e.g.
unit-class_parser.cpp) for exception-dependent tests.

* Fix MSVC C2220 in the std::u8string conversion test

MSVC's C5321 ("nonstandard extension used: encoding '\xNN' as a
multi-byte utf-8 character") is promoted to a hard error by our MSVC CI
configs. It fires because the test composed a non-ASCII UTF-8 sequence
inside a u8"" literal using raw \x byte escapes; MSVC treats that as
nonstandard and suggests using \u universal-character-names instead,
which every compiler agrees on and which compiles down to the exact
same encoded bytes.

* Guard the JSON_THROW_USER test against JSON_NOEXCEPTION and GCC's -Wunused-result

Two independent CI configurations failed to build/run this new test:

- ci_test_noexceptions runs the whole suite with -DJSON_NOEXCEPTION and
  doctest's "--no-throw" filter, which compiles CHECK_THROWS_AS() down
  to a no-op that never even invokes the guarded expression. Since this
  test's whole point is to observe json_throw_user_call_count after
  json::parse()/at() actually throw, it can't be meaningfully run under
  that filter (our JSON_THROW_USER override still throws real
  exceptions regardless of JSON_NOEXCEPTION, but the assertion never
  gets a chance to run). Guard the TEST_CASE with
  #if !defined(JSON_NOEXCEPTION), mirroring the existing precedent in
  unit-json_patch.cpp.

- ci_test_gcc and ci_test_standards_gcc(11) failed with
  -Werror=unused-result on the discarded json::parse() return value.
  json::parse() is marked warn_unused_result, and unlike a real
  [[nodiscard]] attribute, GCC does not consider that satisfied by
  doctest's (void)-cast around the expression in C++11 mode. Assign the
  result to a discarded local instead, matching the established
  `json _ = json::parse(...)` idiom already used throughout
  unit-class_parser.cpp.

* Suppress a clang-tidy false positive on an intentional defensive copy

performance-unnecessary-copy-initialization suggests copy_for_patch
could be a reference since it's never modified -- but the copy is the
point: it guards against a hypothetical regression where patch()
mutates its receiver, which a reference could never catch (the
follow-up assertion would just compare `original` to itself).

* Fix clang-tidy findings in the JSON_NO_IO/JSON_THROW_USER test

- bugprone-macro-parentheses: wrap the JSON_THROW_USER macro argument in
  parentheses at the throw site.
- modernize-raw-string-literal: switch two escaped JSON string literals to
  raw string literals.
