Kevin Burke ed8f207940 encoding/json: Use a lookup table for safe characters
The previous check for characters inside of a JSON string that needed
to be escaped performed seven different boolean comparisons before
determining that a ASCII character did not need to be escaped. Most
characters do not need to be escaped, so this check can be done in a
more performant way.

Use the same strategy as the unicode package for precomputing a range
of characters that need to be escaped, then do a single lookup into a
character array to determine whether the character needs escaping.

On an AWS c4.large node:

I also took the data set reported in #5683 (browser
telemetry data from Mozilla), added named structs for
the data set, and turned it into a proper benchmark:
https://github.com/kevinburke/jsonbench/blob/master/go/bench_test.go

The results from that test are similarly encouraging. On a 64-bit
Mac:

$ benchstat benchmarks/master-benchmark benchmarks/json-table-benchmark

CodeMarshal-4       1.19ms ± 2%    1.08ms ± 2%   -9.33%  (p=0.000 n=21+17)

Unmarshal-4       31.0MB/s ± 2%  31.2MB/s ± 1%   +0.83%  (p=0.025 n=22+17)

On the c4.large:

$ benchstat benchmarks/master-bench benchmarks/json-table-bench
name              old time/op    new time/op    delta
CodeMarshal-2       1.10ms ± 1%    0.98ms ± 1%  -10.12%  (p=0.000 n=20+54)

UnmarshalReuse-2    2.80ms ± 0%    2.77ms ± 0%   -1.03%  (p=0.000 n=20+52)

name              old speed      new speed      delta
CodeMarshal-2     87.3MB/s ± 1%  97.1MB/s ± 1%  +11.27%  (p=0.000 n=20+54)
Unmarshal-2       33.9MB/s ± 1%  34.2MB/s ± 0%   +1.10%  (p=0.000 n=20+51)

For what it's worth, I tried other heuristics - short circuiting the
conditional for common ASCII characters, for example:

if (b >= 63 && b != 92) || (b >= 39 && b <= 59) || (rest of the conditional)

This offered a speedup around 7-9%, not as large as the submitted
change.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
