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::</small>ordered_map
```cpp
template<class Key, class T, class IgnoredLess = std::less<Key>,
class Allocator = std::allocator<std::pair<const Key, T>>>
struct ordered_map : std::vector<std::pair<const Key, T>, Allocator>;
```
A minimal map-like container that preserves insertion order for use within [`nlohmann::ordered_json`](ordered_json.md)
(`nlohmann::basic_json<ordered_map>`).
## Template parameters
`Key`
: key type
`T`
: mapped type
`IgnoredLess`
: comparison function (ignored and only added to ensure compatibility with `#!cpp std::map`)
`Allocator`
: allocator type
## Member types
- **key_type** - key type (`Key`)
- **mapped_type** - mapped type (`T`)
- **Container** - base container type (`#!cpp std::vector<std::pair<const Key, T>, Allocator>`)
- **iterator**
- **const_iterator**
- **size_type**
- **value_type**
- **key_compare** - key comparison function
```cpp
std::equal_to<Key> // until C++14
std::equal_to<> // since C++14
```
## Member functions
- (constructor)
- (destructor)
- **emplace**
- **operator\[\]**
- **at**
- **erase**
- **count**
- **find**
- **insert**
## Examples
??? example
The example shows the different behavior of `std::map` and `nlohmann::ordered_map`.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/ordered_map.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/ordered_map.output"
```

- [ordered_json](ordered_json.md)
## Version history
- Added in version 3.9.0 to implement [`nlohmann::ordered_json`](ordered_json.md).
- Added **key_compare** member in version 3.11.0.
