Speedup #generate_json by using case/when/end

[eregon]

• if/elsif comparing obj.class is significantly slower: JSON.generate: call to_json on String subclasses #668 (comment)
• The only case where an exact class check is needed so far is for String (active_support test began to fail beginning with json 2.7.3 #667).

• The only case where an exact class check is needed so far is for String

That's the one case where we had a failing test for it, but does that mean we should special case it?

I'm open to say only String subclasses have that behavior, but then all 3 implementations should match behavior. Could you add some tests to make sure we converge them?

Also I'm very surprised .class is this expensive on Truffle, I wouldn't have expected it.

I'll rebase and see if the added tests fail on this PR or if they are fine.

[eregon]

Tests seem to pass after rebase from a local test run.

[byroot]

If tests pass, then that's good for me.
