Subclass json_object so primitives shrink from 168 to 24 bytes

The previous "every member in a struct" layout cost 168 bytes per
json_object, even for JSON_NULL / JSON_TRUE / JSON_FALSE nodes that
have no payload. Splitting json_object into a small base class plus
json_number / json_string / json_array / json_hash subclasses brings
each instance down to just the size of its actual contents:

  json_object (base, TRUE / FALSE / NULL)   24 bytes
  json_number                                48 bytes
  json_string                                48 bytes
  json_array  (empty)                        48 bytes
  json_hash   (empty)                        72 bytes

Other size wins along the way:

* Drop enable_shared_from_this<json_object> (its embedded weak_ptr
  was 16 bytes per node). json_pull now keeps an explicit
  container_stack and the parser no longer needs to resurrect a
  shared_ptr from a raw `parent` walk.
* Remove the unused `refcon` slot from the string variant.
* No virtual destructor: shared_ptr keeps the deleter from the
  original std::make_shared<json_xxx> call, so destroying a
  shared_ptr<json_object> still runs the right subclass dtor.

The base class exposes type-tagged accessors (o->string(),
o->number(), o->array(), o->keys(), o->values(), o->large_signed(),
o->large_unsigned()) that assert the type matches and downcast to
the appropriate subclass storage. All call sites were swept from
the old `o->value.X.Y` field paths to these accessors. A raw-pointer
overload of json_hash_get() replaces the few external uses of
shared_from_this() that survived in geojson-loop.cpp.
