Description

To check doubles using precision when comparing JSON's, I am using the following options callback in `BeEquivalentTo`:

```cs
options => options.Using(d => d.Subject.Should().BeApproximately(d.Expectation, 0.001))
.WhenTypeIs()
```

But it seems that this builder callback is being called for every value comparison.
JTokenDifferentiator.CompareValues contains:

```cs
using (var scope = new AssertionScope())
{
actual.Value.Should().BeEquivalentTo(expected.Value, options =>
(JsonAssertionOptions)config.Invoke(new JsonAssertionOptions(options)));

hasMismatches = scope.Discard().Length > 0;
}
```

With the addition of the Using, a bigger json (MB's) goes from 200ms to +10s on my PC.

As a workaround, I replicated the behavior of the builder by accessing the `userEquivalencySteps` field on `SelfReferenceEquivalencyAssertionOptions` using reflection and inserting a custom `IEquivalencyStep`, instead of using the fluent API.
This brings it to 1s, which is acceptable for my use case.

Would it make sense to not call this options callback for every JSON value and build it once?
Or would adding API to add a custom `IEquivalencyStep` instead of the builder make sense?
