Description

Add free function overloads of to_string() in the jsrl namespace for Json and related types, providing a concise, idiomatic way to serialize a JSON value to a std::string without requiring callers to write std::format("{}", j) or construct a std::ostringstream.

jsrl_format.hpp already provides std::formatter specializations for all major jsrl types, but it would be nice to be able to just ask for a string and get one with a call something like this. `std::string s = jsrl::to_string(json);`

Research direction

Start in jsrl_format.hpp by reviewing the existing std::formatter specializations for Json and the related jsrl types. Add the requested jsrl::to_string() overloads so callers receive a std::string without formatting or stream construction; done means the overloads cover the intended major types and serialize their values.
