encoding/csv: Preallocate records slice

Currently parseRecord will always start with a nil
slice and then resize the slice on append. For input
with a fixed number of fields per record we can preallocate
the slice to avoid having to resize the slice.

This change implements this optimization by using
FieldsPerRecord as capacity if it's > 0 and also adds a
benchmark to better show the differences.

benchmark         old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
BenchmarkRead     19741         17909         -9.28%

benchmark         old allocs     new allocs     delta
BenchmarkRead     59             41             -30.51%

benchmark         old bytes     new bytes     delta
BenchmarkRead     6276          5844          -6.88%

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
