Why does unmarshalling into a jose.JSONWebKeySet fail in a traefik plugin but work correctly outside?

```auto
import (
	...
	"github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v3"
	...
)

func test() {
	response, err := http.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs")
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("error fetching: %s", err)
		return
	}
	if response.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
		log.Printf("unexpected status: %d", response.StatusCode)
		return
	}

	var keys jose.JSONWebKeySet
	err = json.NewDecoder(response.Body).Decode(&keys)
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("error decoding: %s", err)
		return
	}

	log.Printf("Count:%d", len(keys.Keys))
	for _, key := range keys.Keys {
		log.Printf("KeyID:%s Key:%s", key.KeyID, key.Key)
	}
}

```

Output outside traefik

```auto

I know nothing about go, but it seems to fetch the data correctly, as it sees two keys. Is it just an issue with the loop and print?

No it’s nothing to do with the loop or print. The value of the keys is the zeroed value because the unmarshalling has not worked correctly (but not given any error).

It appears that `func (k *JSONWebKey) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) (err error) ` is not being called by `func (d *decodeState) object(v reflect.Value) error` This is possibly due to limitations with YAEGI and reflection as described here: [GitHub - traefik/yaegi: Yaegi is Another Elegant Go Interpreter](https://github.com/traefik/yaegi#limitations). It's hard to tell as it's not easy to add trace to the version inside traefik. I'd like to know if this should work.
