Add @auto macro to automatically provide StructTypes definitions for a type tree

[joshday]

The goal here is to remove a lot of the boilerplate necessary for dealing with abstract types:

abstract type Vehicle end

StructTypes.@auto Vehicle  # Can be called *before* the concrete type definitions

struct Car <: Vehicle
    make::String
    model::String
    seatingCapacity::Int
    topSpeed::Float64
end

struct Truck <: Vehicle
    make::String
    model::String
    payloadCapacity::Float64
end



c = Car("Mercedes-Benz", "S500", 5, 250.1)

s = JSON3.write(c)

JSON3.read(s, Vehicle) == c

Under the hood:

1. A __type__ key is added to the serialized JSON (configurable via @auto MyType mysubtypekey.
2. I rely on eval to get the deserialized type from the __type__. I examine the Meta.parse-ed Expr to order to determine whether it's safe to eval. I typically don't mess with eval, so I may have missed something that makes this unsafe.
