bsoncodec/bsonrw: eliminate encoding allocations

This commit eliminates all allocations during marshalling (except for
the final []byte slice allocation, which is unavoidable). This matches
the behavior of encoding/json. It also prevents the vwPool from leaking
writers and includes a few small optimizations to the value_writer.

Other Changes:
   * bsoncodec: reduce use of reflect.Value.Interface()
   * bson: use a buffer pool instead of SliceWriter to eliminate 2 allocs
   * bsonrw: use references to slice indexes

This work builds off of #1313
and uses the BenchmarkCode* suite added by that PR.

The combined performance improvement is below:
