encoding/json: optimize field sorting with slices and cmp

Refactor field sorting in typeFields to use slices.SortFunc and cmp.Compare,
resulting in performance improvements in cache misses and slight increases in
hit latency. Memory allocation and operation counts also reduced significantly
for cache misses.
