Optional setting `single_json_encoder_class`: Set `json`-compatible encoder class to `generate_lock()`

[tony]

Fixes cases such as #42 #36

json.dumps() accepts an optional cls of a jsonJSONEncoder

This matches the intention of the json library.

This is great for cases where users use a celery backend that supports passing uuid.UUID arguments and simply needs to cast. Many codebases already have an encoder for such purposes, some major packages have them such as django.core.serializers.json.DjangoJSONEncoder

@steinitzu Is it possible you could give this a peak?

Can you also fix master's tests?

[tony]

@steinitzu Any update on this? Can you take a look?

[tony]

@steinitzu Also giving another ping and letting you know I'd love for you to take a look at this

Thank you!

@steinitzu Rebased after 35a16b2 ✅

[steinitzu]

Merging this as is. I'll fix the tests in a separate PR, they have other unrelated issues.
