encoding/json, text/template: use reflect.Value.Equal instead of ==

This change applies a fix for a reflect.Value incorrect comparison
using "==" or reflect.DeepEqual.
This change is a precursor to the change that'll bring in the
static analyzer "reflectvaluecompare", by ensuring that all tests
pass beforehand.

Updates #43993
