Add to_bon8/from_bon8 and input_format_t::bon8 for BON8, a binary format
that uses the byte values that cannot begin a UTF-8 character as type
markers, so strings need no length prefix. It is the most compact of the
supported binary formats on the benchmark files.
The reader is non-recursive like the other binary readers. A string ends
at the first byte that cannot continue it, so the reader hands the one or
two bytes it reads past a string back to the value that follows. The
writer produces the canonical representation of the specification, except
for NFC normalization; its output is identical to that of the reference
implementation (HikoGUI) on all files of the test data.
The round-trip tests need the .bon8 files of json_test_data 3.2.0.

- "aspect: binary formats" for changes to the binary reader or writer,
their tests, fuzzers and docs, or with a binary format in the title;
- "python" for Python sources and pip requirements files, matching the
label Dependabot sets on its pip updates, so it is never removed there;
- "CI" also for changes to the Dependabot and labeler configurations.
