515676 - Allow giving objects to PUT/POST without Filters to avoid stringify([parse(stringify(stringify(obj)))])

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Sync, defect, P1)

Description

Right now we need to serialize data before giving it to a Resource for PUT/POST. For Collections, it needs to gather an array of Records, so we end up serializing then parsing them to make them into objects then stringifying the whole array.

Get rid of Filters and automatically JSON.stringify PUT/POST data that aren't strings, so plain Records can be passed in to PUT and POST. This leverages toJSON of Records to provide an object that can be serialized. Fix up client record serialize/deserialize to still escape/unescape non-ASCII.
