    @brief determine the type prefix of container values

    @note This function does not need to be 100% accurate when it comes to
          integer limits. In case a number exceeds the limits of int64_t,
          this will be detected by a later call to function
          write_number_with_ubjson_prefix. Therefore, we return 'L' for any
