net/url: remove an allocation for short strings in escape

Use a 64 byte array to avoid an allocation on the assumption that
most url escaping is performed on short strings. Also adds a fast
path for escaping strings whose only replacements are spaces which
is common in query components.

Adds benchmarks for QueryEscape, PathEscape, QueryUnescape and
PathUnescape but no optimizations are include for the unescape functions
so I don't include those benchmark results here.

Reduces allocations by 10% in the existing String benchmark with a
modest performance increase.
