This adds a flag (alternative names appreciated) that defines the default toEncoding method of ToJSON in terms of Generics rather than the toJSON method. This introduces symmetry between the toJSON and toEncoding methods, and makes it a lot easier to try to eliminate uses of toJSON from a codebase.
This change is placed behind a flag as it would break code that doesn't use Generic deriving and instead only gives an implementation of toJSON.
