Description:
Prealloced_array only allows copying of elements into the array, which prevents creation of arrays that hold objects that cannot be copied, such as std::unique_ptr.

It would be useful if it were possible to move or emplace new elements in Prealloced_array. This would make it possible to have arrays of std::unique_ptr objects, which could be used to simplify memory management in the Json_object and Json_array classes. Another benefit is that some types might be cheaper to move than to copy.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Add overloads of Prealloced_array::insert() and Prealloced_array::push_back() that take rvalue references, similar to std::vector in C++11. Also add C++ emplace() and emplace_back() functions.
