Consider adding play-json as a dependency #91

@bherd-rb and @phelps-sg does it make sense to provide JSON representations of relevant objects such as orders and fills? This would make life easier for users as it would allow them to quickly serialize simulation output for processing in, say Python or R, at the cost of adding a dependency.

Whilst there are many JSON libraries in Java/Scala ecosystem there is at least some evidence that play-json is most efficient. Note that play-json is a separate library and does not involve importing all of the Play web framework.
