encoding/json: fix "data changed underfoot?" panic

Given a program as follows:

data := []byte(`{"F": {
"a": 2,
"3": 4
}}`)
json.Unmarshal(data, &map[string]map[int]int{})

The JSON package should error, as "a" is not a valid integer. However,
we'd encounter a panic:

panic: JSON decoder out of sync - data changing underfoot?

The reason was that decodeState.object would return a nil error on
encountering the invalid map key string, while saving the key type error
for later. This broke if we were inside another object, as we would
abruptly end parsing the nested object, leaving the decoder in an
unexpected state.

To fix this, simply avoid storing the map element and continue decoding
the object, to leave the decoder state exactly as if we hadn't seen an
invalid key type.

This affected both signed and unsigned integer keys, so fix both and add
two test cases.

Updates #28189.
