Add message pooling and pre-allocation optimizations

Reduce memory allocations through:
- sync.Pool for Message objects (AcquireMessage/ReleaseMessage)
- Pre-allocate FieldMap.tagLookup map with capacity 16
- Pre-allocate RepeatingGroup.groups slice using expectedGroupSize

Benchmark comparison (new message per parse):

| Benchmark            | Time        | Memory      | Allocs   |
|----------------------|-------------|-------------|----------|
| ParseMessageNew      | 1670 ns/op  | 5336 B/op   | 28       |
| ParseMessagePool     | 482 ns/op   | 176 B/op    | 2        |

Improvements with pool:
- 3.5x faster
- 30x less memory per operation
- 14x fewer allocations
