Oncilla d1e0fc37ce marshal: do not encode embedded structs as sub-table (#368)
Currently, the marshalling code encodes the embedded structs as sub-tables.
This is a bit unexpected, as it differs from what encoding/json does in
that case: https://play.golang.org/p/KDPaGtrijV1

Unmarshalling code handles this scenario gracefully.

This PR adapts the encoder to behave like encoding/json.
Fields in an embedded struct are promoted to the top level table.
In case the embedded struct is named in the tag, it will still
encode as a sub-table.

The added PromoteAnonymous option on the Encoder allows configuring
the old behavior, where anonymous structs are encoded as sub-tables.

On duplicate keys, the behavior of encoding/json is mimicked:
Fields from anonymous structs are shadowed by regular fields.

An example is added to show the affects of setting PromoteAnonymous.
