go/parser: ~15% faster parsing

- only compute current line position if needed
  (i.e., if a comment is present)

- added benchmark

benchmark         old ns/op    new ns/op    delta
BenchmarkParse     10902990      9313330  -14.58%

benchmark          old MB/s     new MB/s  speedup
BenchmarkParse         5.31         6.22    1.17x
