GODRIVER-2887
Summary
Remove all uses of reflect.Value.MethodByName since it prevents dead code elimination. This causes binaries built with the mongodb/mongo-go-driver library to be larger than they need to be.
All occurrences of reflect.Value.MethodByName are replaced with type assertions.
Source: https://go.dev/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/deadcode.go#L293
Background & Motivation
Reduce the size of binaries built with mongodb/mongo-go-driver.
