Implement support for string_view (attempt no. 3) (#3423)
* Add key_compare member to ordered_map

* Replace == with key_compare in ordered_map

* Expose the actual comparison function used by object_t

nlohmann::ordered_map uses a different comparison function than the one
provided via template parameter.
* Introduce a type trait to detect if object_t has a key_compare member.
* Rename object_comparator_t to default_object_comparator_t.
* Add object_comparator_t to be conditionally defined as
  object_t::key_compare, if available, or default_object_comparator_t
  otherwise.
* Update the documentation accordingly.

* Add type traits to check if a type is usable as object key

Add type trait to check:
* if a type is a specialization of a template.
* if a type is a json_pointer.
* if a type is a basic_json::{const_,}iterator.
* if two types are comparable using a given comparison functor.
* if a type is comparable to basic_json::object_t::key_type.
* if a type has a member type is_transparent.
* if a type is usable as object key.
* if a type has an erase() function accepting a given KeyType.

* Rework basic_json element access to accept more key types

Rework basic_json element access member functions and operators to
accept any type that meets the requirements defined by type trait
detail::is_usable_as_key_type.

Member functions and operators:
* at()
* operator[]
* value()
* erase()
* find()
* count()
* contains()

Update documentation to reflect these changes.

Add unit tests to excercise the new functions using std::string_view.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json::</small>contains
```cpp
// (1)
bool contains(const typename object_t::key_type& key) const;
// (2)
template<typename KeyType>
bool contains(KeyType&& key) const;
// (3)
bool contains(const json_pointer& ptr) const;
```
1. Check whether an element exists in a JSON object with a key equivalent to `key`. If the element is not found or the
JSON value is not an object, `#!cpp false` is returned.
2. See 1. This overload is only available if `KeyType` is comparable with `#!cpp typename object_t::key_type` and
`#!cpp typename object_comparator_t::is_transparent` denotes a type.
3. Check whether the given JSON pointer `ptr` can be resolved in the current JSON value.
## Template parameters
`KeyType`
: A type for an object key other than [`json_pointer`](../json_pointer/index.md) that is comparable with
[`string_t`](string_t.md) using [`object_comparator_t`](object_comparator_t.md).
This can also be a string view (C++17).
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: key value to check its existence.
`ptr` (in)
: JSON pointer to check its existence.
## Return value
1. `#!cpp true` if an element with specified `key` exists. If no such element with such key is found or the JSON value
is not an object, `#!cpp false` is returned.
2. See 1.
3. `#!cpp true` if the JSON pointer can be resolved to a stored value, `#!cpp false` otherwise.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Exceptions
1. The function does not throw exceptions.
2. The function does not throw exceptions.
3. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index begins with
`0`.
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index was not a
number.
## Complexity
Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object.
## Notes
1. This method always returns `#!cpp false` when executed on a JSON type that is not an object.
2. This method can be executed on any JSON value type.
!!! info "Postconditions"
If `#!cpp j.contains(x)` returns `#!c true` for a key or JSON pointer `x`, then it is safe to call `j[x]`.
## Examples
??? example "Example (1) check with key"
The example shows how `contains()` is used.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/contains.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/contains.output"
```
??? example "Example (3) check with JSON pointer"
The example shows how `contains()` is used.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/contains_json_pointer.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/contains_json_pointer.output"
```
## Version history
1. Added in version 3.11.0.
2. Added in version 3.6.0. Extended template `KeyType` to support comparable types in version 3.11.0.
3. Added in version 3.7.0.
