go: optimize XDR decoding performance and reduce allocations

[tamirms]

This commit combines several optimizations to significantly reduce allocations and improve decode performance for generated Go code.

depends on stellar/go-xdr#21

API Changes

• DecodeFrom signature: now uses *xdr.Decoder (byte-slice based)
• Generated Unmarshal function: (io.Reader, v) -> ([]byte, v)
• Remove generated UnmarshalWithOptions wrapper (callers can use xdr.NewDecoderWithOptions directly for custom options)

Optimizations

1. Byte-Slice Decoder Integration

Replace streaming Decoder with byte-slice based Decoder for direct decoding, providing simpler API and better performance.

2. Enum Validation

Replace map-based validation with faster alternatives:

• Contiguous enums: range check (v >= min && v <= max) - 11x faster
• Non-contiguous enums: switch statement - 4x faster

3. Object Reuse

• Union pointer reuse: nil check before allocating arm pointers
• Slice capacity preservation: reuse existing capacity, grow-only

4. Union Value Types

Store small primitive union arms (≤8 bytes) as values instead of pointers to eliminate allocations during decode:

• bool, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, float32, float64
• Enums and typedefs resolving to primitives

Larger types (fixed opaque, structs) remain as pointers to prevent memory bloat in unions with many arms.

5. Union Accessor Optimization

Replace ArmForSwitch + string comparison with direct discriminant enum comparison for ~16-23x faster accessor performance.

6. Float/Double and var_array Support

Add explicit encode/decode handling for Float/Double types and variable-length arrays of all primitive types.

Expected Impact

• Steady-state allocations: ~107K -> ~4-5K per decode cycle
• Enum validation: 4-11x faster
• Union accessors: 16-23x faster
