RequestScope is a large struct and causes stack growth when we pass
it by value into multiple stack levels. Avoid the allocations for
this read only struct by passing a pointer.
A self link should only require one allocation, and we should skip
url.PathEscape() except when the path actually needs it.
Add a fuzz test to build random strings and verify them against
the optimized implementation. Add a new BenchmarkWatchHTTP_UTF8 that
covers when we have unicode names in the self link.

Saves 3 allocations in the fast path and 1 in the slow path (the
slow path has to build the buffer and then call url.EscapedPath
which always allocates).
Time has a limited set of allowed characters and so can bypass part of
the expensive checking done for valid JSON characters.

Can improve CRD watch performance by 5-10% for small objects.
Clients are required to handle watch events of type ERROR, so instead
of eating the decoding error we should pass it on to the client. Use
NewGenericServerError with isUnexpectedResponse to indicate that we
didn't get the bytes from the server we were expecting. For watch, the
415 error code is roughly correct and we will return an error to the
client that makes debugging a failure in either server watch or client
machinery much easier.
We do not alter the behavior when it appears the response is an EOF
or other disconnection.
There was no reason to have two types and this avoids ~10% of allocations
on the GET code path.

ReplaceAllStrings always allocates, while scanning a relatively short
regex twice is slightly more CPU immediately but less later.

IsListType was causing ~100 allocations for a non list object. It is
used in a wide range of code, so perform a more targeted check.
The use of `%#v` in a hot return path for `fmt.Errorf()` was the main
victim.
Replace `%#v` with a typed error and create a cache of types that are
lists with a bounded size (probably not necessary, but safer).

The kubelet was not asking for application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf
on list and get calls. It looks like we lost that code when we
moved to cert rotation. Clean up the client initialization path
and make sure that all non-dynamic clients use protobuf by default.
