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.

nlohmann::basic_json::count

// (1)
size_type count(const typename object_t::key_type& key) const;

// (2)
template<typename KeyType>
size_type count(KeyType&& key) const;
  1. Returns the number of elements with key key. If ObjectType is the default std::map type, the return value will always be 0 (key was not found) or 1 (key was found).
  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.

Template parameters

KeyType
A type for an object key other than json_pointer that is comparable with string_t using object_comparator_t. This can also be a string view (C++17).

Parameters

key (in)
key value of the element to count.

Return value

Number of elements with key key. If the JSON value is not an object, the return value will be 0.

Exception safety

Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object.

Notes

This method always returns 0 when executed on a JSON type that is not an object.

Examples

??? example

The example shows how `count()` is used.

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/count.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/count.output"
```
