pubish() should be able to take a JS object as input

I wanted to publish a JSON payload to a topic:

Observed:

const data = JSON.stringify({ hello : "world" });
const dataBuffer = Buffer.from(data);
await publisher.publish(dataBuffer);

Expected:

await publisher.publish({ hello : "world" });

I’d love for it to be another method name for such a function, like .publishJson(). Having the same method do multiple things and then sending it over the wire makes things harder to debug when someone sends in the wrong argument. And not even typescript will help in this case since any object shape will be allowed.

This would improve the developer experience by simplifying a very common use case. See my first message in this issue to understand the difference.
