Maciej Borzecki 7fa77b81bf testutil: introduce a checker which compares the type after having passed them through a JSON marshaller
This is useful when comparing more complex structure from external packages,
when the structures may have unexported fields that would otherwise be picked up
by check.DeepEquals.
