reflect: add fast paths for common, simple Kinds to DeepEqual

Though the normal equality check suffices, it allocates.
Handle common, simple kinds without allocating.

For some real world types compared with DeepEqual
in the Tailscale code base, the impact of these changes:

name             old time/op    new time/op    delta
HostInfoEqual-8    25.9µs ± 0%    14.4µs ± 0%  -44.32%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)

name             old alloc/op   new alloc/op   delta
HostInfoEqual-8    18.8kB ± 0%    12.6kB ± 0%  -32.58%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)
