encoding/json: remove unnecessary isValidNumber call

The decoder called this function to check numbers being decoded into a
json.Number. However, these can't be quoted as strings, so the tokenizer
has already verified they are valid JSON numbers.

Verified this by adding a test with such an input. As expected, it
produces a syntax error, not the fmt.Errorf - that line could never
execute.

Since the only remaining non-test caller of isvalidnumber is in
encode.go, move the function there.

This change should slightly reduce the amount of work when decoding into
json.Number, though that isn't very common nor part of any current
benchmarks.
