rustdoc-json: Time serialization.

[aDotInTheVoid]

This lets us know how much time is spent in json specific code, and how much performance we could gain by using a different serialization format.

For aws-sdk-ec2, it takes 0.7s, out of a 43s build (of which 6s is spent in json specific code), and makes a 173M json file
