README.md: remove reference to old go versions and modules (#1048)

Reduce marshal and unmarshal overhead (#1044)

* Reduce marshal and unmarshal overhead

Targeted optimizations to reduce performance overhead introduced by
recent feature additions and the unsafe removal.

Unmarshal:
- parseKeyval: access the node directly in the builder's slice to set
  Raw, bypassing NodeAt which triggers a GC write barrier for the
  nodes-pointer on every key-value expression.
- Iterator.Next: cache the *nodes slice dereference in a local variable
  to avoid repeated pointer-to-slice indirection in the hot loop.

Marshal:
- Guard shouldOmitZero calls with an inlineable options.omitzero check.
  shouldOmitZero has inlining cost 1145 (budget 80), so avoiding the
  function call when omitzero is not set removes per-field overhead.
- Inline the isNil check in encodeMap. isNil has inlining cost 93
  (budget 80), so expanding it at the single hot call site avoids
  per-map-entry function call overhead.
