Low-level optimizations to help the compiler generate better code
when logging is disabled. Measured improvement is ~30% on amd64
(from 21 ns/op to 16 ns/op).
Last optimization was for JSON string with no character to encode. This
version focuses on strings with some chars to encode, trying to apply
the same trick for substrings that do not need encoding.

Performance update to appendJSONString so that it now checks if
the input is a simple string that contains no json delimiters, control
characters, or unicode. If simple then the operation is only three
appends. [double-quote, string, double-quote].
If a non-simple character is encountered then all of the previous
characters are appended and the operation falls back to the original
method for the remaining characters.

When error happen, there is nothing the caller can really do and it is
not practicle to handle logging errors. Print an error on the standard
error instead.
