support the lambda.norpc tag on the go1.x runtime (#456)

* support lambda.norpc tag on go1.x and rewrite invoke_loop.go to remove use of Function RPC type

* restore pre-1.17 unix ms conversions

* more test coverage

* add quick benchmark comparision to show throughput improvement of norpc build flag

* more

* update bench.sh
