Serializing an ExpandoObject results in { key: ..., value: ... } not { key: value } in Mono

[craigminihan]

Serializing an ExpandoObject like:

dynamic obj = new ExpandoObject();
obj.hello = "world";

yields: { "key": "hello", "value": "world" } and not { "hello": "world" }

The problem is this test in JsonSerializer.cs in WriteValue():
else if (_params.KVStyleStringDictionary == false && obj is IDictionary &&
obj.GetType().IsGenericType && obj.GetType().GetGenericArguments()[0] == typeof(string))

which fails since even tho ExpandoObject is a Dictionary<string, object> it is not generic (at least in Mono). I've not tried this in .NET.

There is a simple fix for this which I can PR - let me know!

If you have a fix by all means send it to me :)
