encoding/json: use sync.Map for field cache
The previous type cache is quadratic in time in the situation where
new types are continually encountered. Now that it is possible to dynamically
create new types with the reflect package, this can cause json to
perform very poorly.
Switch to sync.Map which does well when the cache has hit steady state,
but also handles occasional updates in better than quadratic time.

The old implementation takes 12 minutes just to build a cache of size 1e5
due to the quadratic behavior. I did not bother benchmark sizes above that.
