perf(msgpack): optimize hot paths and array init

- Use pointer arithmetic for faster array
  initialization instead of index-based loops
- Inline readData, fillParentContainer, and
  containerToPayload for better optimization
- Document optimized branch ordering in integer
  parsing for common cases
- Improve performance in critical code paths
