Remove SlotData

Because a slot id is smaller than a pointer, this change will ultimately allow reducing the slot size.

 ArduinoJson: change log
 =======================
 
+HEAD
+----
+
+* Optimize storage of static strings
+
+> ### BREAKING CHANGES
+>
+> Static string cannot contain NUL characters anymore (they could since 7.3.0).
+> This is an extremely rare case, so you probably won't be affected.
+>
+> For example, the following code produces different output in 7.3 and 7.4:
+>
+> ```cpp
+> JsonDocument doc;
+> doc["a\0b"] = "c\0d";
+> serializeJson(doc, Serial);
+> // With Arduino 7.3 -> {"a\u0000b":"c\u0000d"}
+> // With Arduino 7.4 -> {"a":"c"}
+> ```
+>
+> `JsonString` contructor now only accepts two arguments, not three.
+> If your code uses `JsonString` to store a string as a pointer, you must remove the size argument.
+>
+> For example, if you have something like this:
+>
+> ```cpp
+> doc["key"] = JsonString(str.c_str(), str.size(), true);
+> ```
+>
+> You must replace with either:
+>
+> ```cpp
+> doc["key"] = JsonString(str.c_str(), true);  // store as pointer, cannot contain NUL characters
+> doc["key"] = JsonString(str.c_str(), str.size()); // store by copy, NUL characters allowed
+> doc["key"] = str; // same as previous line for supported string classes (`String`, `std::string`, etc.)
+> ```
+
+v7.4.1 (2025-04-11)
+------
+
+* Fix crash with tiny Flash strings (issue #2170)
+
+v7.4.0 (2025-04-09)
+------
+
+* Optimize storage of tiny strings (up to 3 characters)
+* Fix support for `const char[]` (issue #2166)
+
+v7.3.1 (2025-02-27)
+------
+
+* Fix conversion from static string to number
+* Slightly reduce code size
+
+v7.3.0 (2024-12-29)
+------
+
+* Fix support for NUL characters in `deserializeJson()`
+* Make `ElementProxy` and `MemberProxy` non-copyable
+* Change string copy policy: only string literal are stored by pointer
+* `JsonString` is now stored by copy, unless specified otherwise
+* Replace undocumented `JsonString::Ownership` with `bool`
+* Rename undocumented `JsonString::isLinked()` to `isStatic()`
+* Move public facing SFINAEs to template declarations
+
+> ### BREAKING CHANGES
+>
+> In previous versions, `MemberProxy` (the class returned by `operator[]`) could lead to dangling pointers when used with a temporary string.
+> To prevent this issue, `MemberProxy` and `ElementProxy` are now non-copyable.
+>
+> Your code is likely to be affected if you use `auto` to store the result of `operator[]`. For example, the following line won't compile anymore:
+>
+> ```cpp
+> auto value = doc["key"];
+> ```
+>
+> To fix the issue, you must append either `.as<T>()` or `.to<T>()`, depending on the situation.
+>
+> For example, if you are extracting values from a JSON document, you should update like this:
+>
+> ```diff
+> - auto config = doc["config"];
+> + auto config = doc["config"].as<JsonObject>();
+> const char* name = config["name"];
+> ```
+>
+> However, if you are building a JSON document, you should update like this:
+>
+> ```diff
+> - auto config = doc["config"];
+> + auto config = doc["config"].to<JsonObject>();
+> config["name"] = "ArduinoJson";
+> ```
+
+v7.2.1 (2024-11-15)
+------
+
+* Forbid `deserializeJson(JsonArray|JsonObject, ...)` (issue #2135)
+* Fix VLA support in `JsonDocument::set()`
+* Fix `operator[](variant)` ignoring NUL characters
+
 v7.2.0 (2024-09-18)
