allow custom JSONEncoder for the request's json param

Using the json param when making a request is awesome:

payload = {'blip': 'blaz'}
r = requests.get('http://foo.bar', json=payload)

Using the response property is great as well, especially since you can use a custom json decoder:

r.json(cls=MyCustomDecoder)

It would be nice to allow a param to be passed that could be applied to the dumps of the json value.

payload = {'blip': Decimal(69)}
json_params = {'cls': MyCustomEncoder}
r = requests.get('http://foo.bar', json=payload, json_params=json_params)

I think the better way is to manually use it yourself:

r = requests.post('http://foo.bar', data=json.dumps(some_data, cls=CustomJSONEncoder), headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'})

@drmaples then make a function that handles that “globally” for yourself. We won’t be introducing this.
