Support custom IsZero() methods with omitzero tag (#1020)

The omitzero tag now respects custom IsZero() methods on types, similar to how encoding/json handles this. Previously, only reflect.Value.IsZero() was used, which ignores user-defined implementations. Fixes #1003 Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
