Fix `Marshal7951` for direct union leaf calls. (#947)

When `jsonValue` is called using the output of `reflect.ValueOf()` instead of
`reflect.StructField`, any interface type is lost through re-packing to the
empty interface (any). This means the `reflect.Kind` of a union field is no
longer the union type, but instead its underlying concrete type. The current
code doesn't handle this case, leading to runtime errors.

This handling code is now added, with a couple more fixes related to `empty`
types.

-----
Tested manually that the following ygnmi call is no longer affected by the
original error:
```go
sp := gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance("DEFAULT").Protocol(oc.PolicyTypes_INSTALL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_STATIC, "STATIC")
return ygnmi.Replace(context.Background(), c, sp.Static("1.1.1.1/32").SetTag().Config(), oc.NetworkInstance_Protocol_Static_SetTag_Union(oc.UnionUint32(42)))
```
