encoding/json: Better Json decoding

[h4ck3rm1k3]

I have made a patch for debugging two things:

1. if a field could not get mapped into the object
2. if the type could not get cast, what field name it is. this required more pumbing to route the key field name to the right spot.

Nothing to do here, so closing the issue. If you want to make a specific feature request, I think that would be clearer if you open a new issue.

There is something to do. @ianlancetaylor the bug report is :

1. field name not reported on type error, this is really time consuming to find out what field is failing.
2. no error message of skipped fields.
   those are the things that I tried to fix. So I would like to leave this a bug report if you agree.

I sent this item to the mailing list and this is the discussion. The
problem is that json decode is lacking any useful feedback in an error
condition.
