encoding/gob: optimize decoding of []byte

The reflect.Value.Slice method unfortunately allocates every time
since it needs to place the slice header on the heap.
This is silly since gob immediately stores the result back into slice.
Instead, use the reflect.Value.SetLen method.

DecodeBytesSlice  75.0µs ± 2%  35.2µs ± 6%  -53.02%
