Niels Lohmann e444a66276 Copy values before inserting an initializer list into an array (#5693)
* Copy values before inserting an initializer list into an array

insert(pos, {...}) inserted wrong values when the initializer list
contained const references to elements of the array being inserted
into. json_ref stores only a pointer for a const lvalue, so the
initializer_list_t range passed straight to the array's range insert
aliased the array's own storage; std::vector::insert(pos, first, last)
may move or shift elements before copying from that range, so the
source elements were already stale by the time they were read
(different wrong results on libc++ and libstdc++).

Copy the referenced values into a temporary array_t first, then move
that temporary into place, so the source range never aliases the
array being modified.

Fixes #5656.

* Use the reserve_array helper in the initializer_list insert fix

The previous commit called array_t::reserve() directly on the
temporary buffer used to copy an ilist's values before inserting.
std::deque, a documented ArrayType (tests/src/unit-custom-array-type.cpp),
has no reserve(), so insert(pos, initializer_list) no longer compiled
for it. Use the existing detail::reserve_array() SFINAE helper (already
used by the SAX DOM parser) instead, which leaves array types without
reserve() untouched.

Added a regression check that deque_json::insert(pos, {...}) compiles
and handles the aliasing case from #5656.
