Description

It would be really neat if Boost.JSON could support some or all of the [JSON5](https://json5.org/) features (via additional flags on `parse_options`).

We already have `allow_comments` and `allow_trailing_commas`, but it would be great to have, say, `allow_json5_strings` to allow that strings may:

- be single quoted;
- span multiple lines by escaping new line characters;
- include character escapes.
