Fix wrong branch hint and add missing consteval guard in extract_from (#2609)

Two fixes to the ablation logic:

1. Fix incorrect branch hint in capacity_check() overflow detection
   (json_string_builder-inl.h:365): simdjson_likely was used on the
   overflow check `position + upcoming_bytes < position`, but overflow
   is rare so this should be simdjson_unlikely. The comment itself says
   "most of the time there is no overflow". This was causing the branch
   predictor to optimize for the wrong path.

2. Add missing ABLATION_NO_CONSTEVAL guard in extract_from()
   (json_builder.h:332): consteval_to_quoted_escaped was being used
   without an ablation guard, for consistency with all other call sites.

Updated ablation results with both fixes:
| Configuration    | CITM (MB/s) | Impact | Twitter (MB/s) | Impact |
|------------------|-------------|--------|----------------|--------|
| Baseline         | 3001.10     | -      | 5651.89        | -      |

| NO_SIMD_ESCAPING | 2904.34     | -3%    | 1403.36        | -75%   |
| NO_CONSTEVAL     | 1796.05     | -40%   | 3542.77        | -37%   |

   out of the array, you may use an array access (e.g., `array[1]`). You should never reset an array as you are iterating through it. The following is an anti-pattern: `for(auto value: myarray) {myarray.reset()}`.
 * **Field Access:** To get the value of the "foo" field in an object, use `object["foo"]`. This will
   scan through the object looking for the field with the matching string, doing a character-by-character
-  comparison. It may generate the error `simdjson::NO_SUCH_FIELD` if there is no such key in the object, it may throw an exception (see [Error handling](#error-handling)). For efficiency reason, you should avoid looking up the same field repeatedly: e.g., do
+  comparison. It may generate the error `simdjson::NO_SUCH_FIELD` if there is no such key in the object, it may throw an exception (see [Error handling](#error-handling)). The returned value is only valid so long as you do not access another field: normally, you should therefore grab the value right after accessing a key (i.e., convert it to number, string, object, array...). For efficiency reason, you should avoid looking up the same field repeatedly: e.g., do
   not do `object["foo"]` followed by `object["foo"]` with the same `object` instance. Generally, you should not mix and match iterating through an object (`for(auto field : object) {...}`) and key accesses (`object["foo"]`): if you need to iterate through an object after a key access, you need to call `reset()` on the object. Whenever you call `reset()`, you need to keep in mind that though you can iterate over the array repeatedly, values should be consumedonly once (e.g., repeatedly calling `unescaped_key()` on the same  key is forbidden). Keep in mind that On-Demand does not buffer or save the result of the parsing: if you repeatedly access `object["foo"]`, then it must repeatedly seek the key and parse the content. The library does not provide a distinct function to check if a key is present, instead we recommend you attempt to access the key: e.g., by doing `ondemand::value val{}; if (!object["foo"].get(val)) {...}`, you have that `val` contains the requested value inside the if clause.  It is your responsibility as a user to temporarily keep a reference to the value (`auto v = object["foo"]`), or to consume the content and store it in your own data structures. If you consume an
   object twice: `std::string_view(object["foo"]` followed by `std::string_view(object["foo"]` then your code
   is in error. Furthermore, you can only consume one field at a time, on the same object. The
