Extract field comments from AST and include them in generated view
methods. Comments are preserved from the original struct fields to
provide documentation for the view accessors.

This adds support for having every viewer type implement
jsonv2.MarshalerTo and jsonv2.UnmarshalerFrom.
This provides a significant boost in performance
as the json package no longer needs to validate
the entirety of the JSON value outputted by MarshalJSON,
nor does it need to identify the boundaries of a JSON value
in order to call UnmarshalJSON.
For deeply nested and recursive MarshalJSON or UnmarshalJSON calls,
this can improve runtime from O(N²) to O(N).
This still references "github.com/go-json-experiment/json"
instead of the experimental "encoding/json/v2" package
now available in Go 1.25 under goexperiment.jsonv2
so that code still builds without the experiment tag.
Of note, the "github.com/go-json-experiment/json" package
aliases the standard library under the right build conditions.

The json/v2 prototype is still in flux and the API can/will change.
Statically enforce that types implementing the v2 methods
satisfy the correct interface so that changes to the signature
can be statically detected by the compiler.

The upstream module has seen significant work making
the v1 emulation layer a high fidelity re-implementation
of v1 "encoding/json".
This addresses several upstream breaking changes:
* MarshalJSONV2 renamed as MarshalJSONTo
* UnmarshalJSONV2 renamed as UnmarshalJSONFrom
* Options argument removed from MarshalJSONV2
* Options argument removed from UnmarshalJSONV2

In this PR, we add a generic views.ValuePointer type that can be used as a view for pointers
to basic types and struct types that do not require deep cloning and do not have corresponding
view types. Its Get/GetOk methods return stack-allocated shallow copies of the underlying value.
We then update the cmd/viewer codegen to produce getters that return either concrete views
when available or ValuePointer views when not, for pointer fields in generated view types.
This allows us to avoid unnecessary allocations compared to returning pointers to newly
allocated shallow copies.

This adds a new package containing generic types to be used for defining preference hierarchies.
These include prefs.Item, prefs.List, prefs.StructList, and prefs.StructMap. Each of these types
represents a configurable preference, holding the preference's state, value, and metadata.
The metadata includes the default value (if it differs from the zero value of the Go type)
and flags indicating whether a preference is managed via syspolicy or is hidden/read-only for
another reason. This information can be marshaled and sent to the GUI, CLI and web clients
as a source of truth regarding preference configuration, management, and visibility/mutability states.
We plan to use these types to define device preferences, such as the updater preferences,
the permission mode to be used on Windows with #tailscale/corp#18342, and certain global options
that are currently exposed as tailscaled flags. We also aim to eventually use these types for
profile-local preferences in ipn.Prefs and and as a replacement for ipn.MaskedPrefs.
The generic preference types are compatible with the tailscale.com/cmd/viewer and
tailscale.com/cmd/cloner utilities.
