failing to unmashall yaml with dynamic struct

[Ompluscator]

Hi, thx for submitting an issue. After investigation, I've succeeded to have working code, by adapting a line:

// Notice, there is no "&" in front "dataResource"
if err := yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), dataResource); err != nil {
	fmt.Println(err.Error())
}

This was result in console:

(*struct { Name string "yaml:\"name\""; ContentType string "yaml:\"content-type\""; Data main.DataResource "yaml:\"data\"" })(0xc00008a630)({
 Name: (string) (len=3) "foo",
 ContentType: (string) (len=34) "application/vnd.talend.iam-account",
 Data: (main.DataResource) {
  Key: (string) (len=5) "value"
 }
})
Name foo

Package dynamic-struct relies on method reflect.New during delivering of new instance of struct, which returns pointer to new zero value. Packages "encoding/json" and "github.com/go-playground/form" still require to pass values as references while decoding/unmarshaling, but some packages like "github.com/leebenson/conform" or "gopkg.in/yaml.v3" accepts those values to be passed as non-references (as, in general, they are already created as such, from builder).

To make a general solution here would require more time for investigation, and to be honest - I'm not 100% sure that solution which supports all cases with same way of value passing for decoding/unmarshaling can be provided (personally, I had a lot of problems dealing with combination of "github.com/go-playground/form" and "github.com/leebenson/conform").

So, I would suggest to use code example which I've added on top.
