Daniel Lemire 3254622f74 Add chars_format::javascript_sloppy (Annex B NonOctalDecimalIntegerLiteral)
chars_format::javascript follows the strict-mode grammar, which rejects
any leading zero. In sloppy mode, JavaScript also accepts a leading zero
when one of the digits is 8 or 9 ("08.5" is 8.5, Annex B's
NonOctalDecimalIntegerLiteral). A leading zero followed only by octal
digits is a LegacyOctalIntegerLiteral ("0775"), which is not a decimal
number: it is rejected with the new parse_error::legacy_octal_integer_part
so the caller can parse it in base 8.

javascript_sloppy sets one extra bit on top of javascript, and the check
lives inside the existing runtime JavaScript branch of
parse_number_string<false>, so the general path is unchanged. An
interleaved A/B with realbenchmark on canada.txt and mesh.txt (ASCII and
UTF-16, 32/64-bit) shows identical instructions per float and cycles
within noise.

Document both formats in the README.
