logtail: optimize JSON processing (#11671)
Changes made:

* Avoid "encoding/json" for JSON processing, and instead use
"github.com/go-json-experiment/json/jsontext".
Use jsontext.Value.IsValid for validation, which is much faster.
Use jsontext.AppendQuote instead of our own JSON escaping.

* In drainPending, use a different maxLen depending on lowMem.
In lowMem mode, it is better to perform multiple uploads
than it is to construct a large body that OOMs the process.

* In drainPending, if an error is encountered draining,
construct an error message in the logtail JSON format
rather than something that is invalid JSON.

* In appendTextOrJSONLocked, use jsontext.Decoder to check
whether the input is a valid JSON object. This is faster than
the previous approach of unmarshaling into map[string]any and
then re-marshaling that data structure.
This is especially beneficial for network flow logging,
which produces relatively large JSON objects.

* In appendTextOrJSONLocked, enforce maxSize on the input.
If too large, then we may end up in a situation where the logs
can never be uploaded because it exceeds the maximum body size
that the Tailscale logs service accepts.

* Use "tailscale.com/util/truncate" to properly truncate a string
on valid UTF-8 boundaries.

* In general, remove unnecessary spaces in JSON output.

Performance:

    name       old time/op    new time/op    delta
    WriteText     776ns ± 2%     596ns ± 1%   -23.24%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)
    WriteJSON     110µs ± 0%       9µs ± 0%   -91.77%  (p=0.000 n=8+8)

    name       old alloc/op   new alloc/op   delta
    WriteText      448B ± 0%        0B       -100.00%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)
    WriteJSON    37.9kB ± 0%     0.0kB ± 0%   -99.87%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)

    name       old allocs/op  new allocs/op  delta
    WriteText      1.00 ± 0%      0.00       -100.00%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)
    WriteJSON     1.08k ± 0%     0.00k ± 0%   -99.91%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)

For text payloads, this is 1.30x faster.
For JSON payloads, this is 12.2x faster.

Tailscale Logs Service

This github repository contains libraries, documentation, and examples for working with the public API of the tailscale logs service.

For a very quick introduction to the core features, read the API docs and peruse the logs reprocessing example.
