Justin Nuß 2181653be6 encoding/csv: add option to reuse slices returned by Read
In many cases the records returned by Reader.Read will only be used between calls
to Read and become garbage once a new record is read. In this case, instead of
allocating a new slice on each call to Read, we can reuse the last allocated slice
for successive calls to avoid unnecessary allocations.

This change adds a new field ReuseRecord to the Reader struct to enable this reuse.

ReuseRecord is false by default to avoid breaking existing code which dependss on
the current behaviour.

I also added 4 new benchmarks, corresponding to the existing Read benchmarks, which
set ReuseRecord to true.

Benchstat on my local machine (old is ReuseRecord = false, new is ReuseRecord = true)
