* Handle input errors for --indent
Handle malformed and overflowing arguments. Also, forbid leading and
trailing spaces to match the behavior of tonumber from commit ce0e788
(improve tonumber/0 performance by parsing input as number literal,
2024-03-02).
* Do not skip leading whitespace in jvp_strtod
`jvp_strtod` skips leading whitespace, but its decnum counterpart
`decNumberFromString` (called within `jv_number_with_literal`) does not.
Those two are called interchangeably, so it leads to inconsistent
behavior depending on whether the decnum feature is enabled.
Additionally, `classify`, used in the token scanner, only considers
[ \t\n\r] to be whitespace, but `jvp_strtod` consumes the larger set
[ \t\n\v\f\r], so those extra characters are considered literals.
Changing this deviates from the behavior of `strdod` from <stdlib.h> and
is technically a breaking API change, since it is a public symbol.
This comment predates the addition of $ARGS in jq 1.6, so there was no
way to access named arguments with an invalid identifier. Rather than
forbid such names, update the manual to clarify.
When jq is not supplied with a program, it usually exits with an error
and usage text, except for when jq is not connected to a TTY (i.e., not
interactive), in which case a default program of `.` is used. Combined
with `-f`, it then tries to read `.` as the filename.

Fixes:
* Short options cannot be repeated in the same group:
e.g., `-nn` fails, but `--null-input --null-input` works
* Short options are processed in an arbitrary fixed order, not the order
given by the user: e.g., `-hV`, `-Vh`, `-h -V`, and `--help --version`
are processed as `-h`, but `-V -h` and `--version --help` are
processed as `-V`
* `-L` cannot be a part of a short option group (as the last one):
e.g., `-nLlib` and `-nL lib` fail
Before, arrays would not reset colors after `[` and `,`, but objects
would; it would reset colors twice before `]` and `}`; and some cases of
indentation would have colors applied. Now, colors are reset immediately
after any token that is colored, before any indentation. This makes the
formatting consistent, for the benefit of custom `JQ_COLORS`.
