encoding/json: fix decoding of types with '[]byte' as underlying type

All slice types which have elements of kind reflect.Uint8 are marshalled
into base64 for compactness. When decoding such data into a custom type
based on []byte the decoder checked the slice kind instead of the slice
element kind, so no appropriate decoder was found.

Fixed by letting the decoder check slice element kind like the encoder.
This guarantees that already encoded data can still be successfully
decoded.

Fixes #8962.
