Remove unsafe package usage (#1021)

Removes all unsafe operations from go-toml, making the codebase
fully safe Go code. The internal/danger package that contained
unsafe operations has been deleted.

Changes:
- Replace pointer-based node navigation with index-based navigation
- Node.next and Node.child now store absolute indices into the
  backing nodes slice instead of relative offsets
- Add nodes pointer to Node and Iterator for safe navigation
- Replace danger.TypeID with reflect.Type for cache keys
- Delete internal/danger package entirely

Performance overhead is under 10% compared to the unsafe version,
which is acceptable for the safety and maintainability benefits.
