JSON Marshal For Primitive Wrappers

[randyp]

I would like your primitive wrappers, such as optional.Bool, to marshal and unmarshal to json accordingly. Right now they are marshaled as objects.

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "github.com/markphelps/optional"
    "os"
)

type Foo struct {
    Bar optional.Bool `json:"bar"`
}

func main() {
    json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout).Encode(&Foo{Bar:optional.Bool{}}) // {}
    json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout).Encode(&Foo{Bar:optional.NewBool(true)}) // {"bar": true}
    json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout).Encode(&Foo{Bar:optional.NewBool(false)}) // {"bar":false}
}

This could be added to the generator template and re-generated the primitive types.
