Lenient JsonWriter should allow multiple top level objects

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

JsonWriter jsonWriter = new JsonWriter( new StringWriter() );
jsonWriter.setLenient( true );
jsonWriter.beginObject();
jsonWriter.endObject);
jsonWriter.beginObject();

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to write additional objects.  Instead, an IllegalStateException is 
thrown: "JSON must have only one top-level value."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

gson-2.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Lenient JsonReader allows this, it would seem that the writer should as well.

Here is a simple patch to fix the issue.  It breaks one unit test but appears 
to work in practice.  Can someone with more knowledge of the product take a 
look and make sure I'm not overlooking something.
