Whack: serialization

[hydroperfox]

My Whack engine for ActionScript 3 is getting some internal update so that it can support serializing classes more directly without requiring explicit serialization methods.

Serialization: to do

I'm planning for example, that this:

Should produce something like:

{
    "type": "bear",
    "anger": 100
}

So, even though we're targetting JavaScript, some parameterized types will be real at runtime (Vector.<T>, Array.<T>, and Map.<K, V>); others will be erased (including Promise.<T>).

I'm updating mostly ActionCore and the Whack libraries, not the SDK for now. ^_^ I have also added some strategy notes on how MXML and CSS are going to be compiled inside the SDK.

Also, this serialization usage reminders of Rust's serde, although it's entirely functionally different and the implementation will use a couple of Reflect static methods instead of the inefficient describeType().
