Added java.sql.Timestamp to net.liftweb.json Extraction

[kevg]

I ran into a problem where a Mapper MappedDateTime was not being serialized by net.liftweb.json.Extraction. It turns out this is because MappedDateTime.is returns a java.sql.Timestamp, which although is a subclass of java.util.Date, lift json did not support.

Okay. There are some well known patterns you can consider that many Eclipse & Apache projects use: When a patch is submitted, a set of questions are asked to the person such as the code's provenance, etc.

There's been a multitude of discussions about this on the list; please go ahead and peruse them for more details.

We have chosen a set of patterns and rules for contribution and we advertise them. We do not have any plans to revisit them. Thanks.

To help avoid confusions, I could look at modifying the first section of https://github.com/lift/framework/blob/master/README.md to highlight the policy.

I think this is a good idea, since most of the people writing patches would be looking at the GitHub Repo's first few paragraphs rather than the last paragraph and then the website :)

Great idea!
