Dave Collins 5de5b7354c wire: Avoid allocation on timestamp decodes.
Since the protocol encodes timestamps differently depending on the
message, the code currently decodes into a local variable and then
converts it to a time.Time.  However, this causes an allocation due to
the local having to escape to the heap in order for the readElement
function to write to it.

So, in order to avoid that, this introduces two new types for a
timestamp named uint32Time and int64Time that are encoded as the
respective type on the read.  When calling the readElements function,
the time.Time field in the message is cast to a pointer of the
appropriate type which effectively allows the allocations to be avoided.

The following is a before and after comparison of the allocations
with the benchmarks that did not change removed:

benchmark              old allocs     new allocs     delta
