Fixed a compatibility issue with the Oj gem

`Time#as_json`, `Date#as_json` and `DateTime#as_json` incorrectly depends on a
delegation that is set up in `active_support/json/encoding`. We cannot simply
require that file in `core_ext/object/json` because it would cause a circular
dependency problem (see #12203 for background). We should instead rely on AS's
autoload to load that file for us on-demand.

To trigger autoload correctly, we need to reference the `AS::JSON::Encoding`
constant instead of using the delegated version.

Fixes #16131.
