reflect: avoid stack copies of hiter

Use a pointer reciever to avoid copying the hiter struct when
checking if it is intialized.

Found through profiling that showed reflect map iteration spending
a good amount of time in duffcopy.

This change will also help other MapIter methods checking hiter struct
initialization like Value() and Key().
