New gjson.Unmarshal function

It's a drop in replacement for json.Unmarshal and you can typically see
a 3 to 4 times boost in performance without the need for external tools
or generators.

This function works almost identically to json.Unmarshal except that
it expects the json to be well-formed prior to being called. Invalid
json will not panic, but it may return back unexpected results.
Therefore the return value of this function will always be nil.

Another difference is that gjson.Unmarshal will automatically attempt
to convert JSON values to any Go type. For example, the JSON string
"100" or the JSON number 100 can be equally assigned to Go string,
int, byte, uint64, etc. This rule applies to all types.

<p align="center">get a json value quickly</a></p>
GJSON is a Go package that provides a [fast](#performance) and [simple](#get-a-value) way to get values from a json document.
It has features such as [one line retrieval](#get-a-value), [dot notation paths](#path-syntax), [iteration](#iterate-through-an-object-or-array), and [map unmarshalling](#unmarshal-to-a-map).
It has features such as [one line retrieval](#get-a-value), [dot notation paths](#path-syntax), [iteration](#iterate-through-an-object-or-array). It can also [unmarshal](#unmarshalling) 3 to 4 times faster than the standard Go `json/encoding` unmarshaller.

## Unmarshalling
There's a `gjson.Unmarshal` function that loads json data into the value.
It's a drop in replacement for `json.Unmarshal` and you can typically see a
3 to 4 times boost in performance without the need for external tools or
generators.
This function works almost identically to `json.Unmarshal` except that it
expects the json to be well-formed prior to being called. Invalid json
will not panic, but it may return back unexpected results. Therefore the
return value of this function will always be nil.
Another difference is that `gjson.Unmarshal` will automatically attempt to
convert JSON values to any Go type. For example, the JSON string "100" or
the JSON number 100 can be equally assigned to Go string, int, byte, uint64,
etc. This rule applies to all types.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/tidwall/gjson"
)
type Animal struct {
Type string `json:"type"`
Sound string `json:"sound"`
Age int `json:"age"`
}
var json = `{
"type": "Dog",
"Sound": "Bark",
"Age": "11"
}`
func main() {
var dog Animal
gjson.Unmarshal([]byte(json), &dog)
fmt.Printf("type: %s, sound: %s, age: %d\n", dog.Type, dog.Sound, dog.Age)
}
```
This will print:
```
type: Dog, sound: Bark, age: 11
```
