Extend jQuery with serializeJSON function properly

[brandonb927]

Some other fixes in this commit:

• Fix spelling error in README
• Update LICENSE year
• Update Google Closure Compiled version

No core change, tests pass.

@brandonb927 my main concern with this PR is that it addresses multiple concerns in a single commit. And I can't bump the version until we have a regression test to support your findings.

You are correct that serializeJSON has not been properly exposed to the jQuery plugin. The foolish way I decided to avoid front-end testing allowed this to slip through the cracks.

I think I have arrived at a decision for the issue about supporting . and - in the field keys, too. The plugin will likely define defaults as $.jquerySerializeObjectDefaults. End users will be able to override those defaults in order to support their custom needs.

I'm addressing a couple of things with this plugin today. I'll keep you updated.

@brandonb927 thanks again for reporting this issue. It has been fixed with the latest release. I strongly encourage you to revisit the source code as as much of the structure of the plugin has changed.

There are pitfalls with doing server-side testing for a front-end plugin, and you discovered one of them. I took great care to ensure this kind of bug can't happen again 😄

As for the . and - in field keys, that will be addressed in the near future.

Thanks for commenting on this :) I squashed my commits into a single commit so there wasn't 10 commits to deal with merging. I'll take a look at the source again when it's been updated for the hyphenated fields. Awesome work!

@brandonb927 please see this comment I made on another issue.

There's also an example in the README now for using hyphens with this plugin.
