Daniel Martí 7e08c7f43d encoding/json: index names for the struct decoder
In the common case, structs have a handful of fields and most inputs
match struct field names exactly.

The previous code would do a linear search over the fields, stopping at
the first exact match, and otherwise using the first case insensitive
match.

This is unfortunate, because it means that for the common case, we'd do
a linear search with bytes.Equal. Even for structs with only two or
three fields, that is pretty wasteful.

Worse even, up until the exact match was found via the linear search,
all previous fields would run their equalFold functions, which aren't
cheap even in the simple case.

Instead, cache a map along with the field list that indexes the fields
by their name. This way, a case sensitive field search doesn't involve a
linear search, nor does it involve any equalFold func calls.

This patch should also slightly speed up cases where there's a case
insensitive match but not a case sensitive one, as then we'd avoid
calling bytes.Equal on all the fields. Though that's not a common case,
and there are no benchmarks for it.
