json: preserve field name case by default

This matches the old JSON package behavior.
All lowercase names are not as standard as I believed,
and it seems less surprising to need to write

	type T struct { Field string "field" }

to get lower case (behavior after this CL) than it does to need
to write

	type T struct { Field string "Field" }

to preserve the case (behavior before this CL).

Also test and  fix unmarshal into non-nil interface
value or pointer.

Fixes #744.
