Thanks for the PR!

This PR needs some explanation/rationale for the change it is making. Could you add some comments and/or benchmarks to the PR description and commit message?

I added the explanation to the commit message.

By removing io.Writer and io.Reader abstraction from encode and decode
methods, the following benchmars:

old:

func BenchmarkHopDataEncode(b *testing.B) {
	hd := new(HopData)
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		hd.Encode(ioutil.Discard)
	}
}

type nopReader struct{}

func (nopReader) Read(b []byte) (int, error) { return len(b), nil }

func BenchmarkHopDataDecode(b *testing.B) {
	hd := new(HopData)
	src := nopReader{}
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		hd.Decode(src)
	}
}

new:

func BenchmarkHopDataEncode(b *testing.B) {
	hd := new(HopData)
	dst := make([]byte, hopDataSize)
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		hd.Encode(dst)
	}
}

func BenchmarkHopDataDecode(b *testing.B) {
	hd := new(HopData)
	src := make([]byte, hopDataSize)
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		hd.Decode(src)
	}
}

show the following insrease in performance:
