Clarify that the token 0 is a valid array index in operator[] docs

Browse Source 
The note described valid array indices as "a nonempty sequence of digits
without a leading 0", which read literally excludes the token "0" itself,
contradicting both the code and the /foo/0/0/0 example in the next
sentence. Spell out the RFC 6901 grammar instead.

When the JSON pointer traverses intermediate levels that don't exist at all yet (not just a missing
leaf), each missing level is created as an array or an object depending on whether the corresponding
pointer token is a valid array index: a token that is a nonempty sequence of digits without a leading
`0` (or the token `-`) creates an array, and every other token creates an object. For example, on an
pointer token is a valid array index: the token `0`, a sequence of digits that does not begin with `0`,
or the token `-` creates an array, and every other token creates an object. For example, on an
initially `#!json null` value, `/foo/0/0/0` creates nested arrays, while `/foo/one/one/one` creates
nested objects. Tokens such as `01` or the empty token cannot be array indices (cf. RFC 6901, Sect. 4)
and therefore create objects, just as they would if the level already existed as an object. This is not
