    encoding/json: various minor decoder speed-ups · 6d4787af

    Reuse v.Type() and cachedTypeFields(t) when decoding maps and structs.
    
    Always use the same data slices when in hot loops, to ensure that the
    compiler generates good code. "for i < len(data) { use(d.data[i]) }"
    makes it harder for the compiler.
    
    Finally, do other minor clean-ups, such as deduplicating switch cases,
    and using a switch instead of three chained ifs.
    
    The decoder sees a noticeable speed-up, in particular when decoding
    structs.
