Issue:
Ability to "pretty print" serialized JSON
I see that `json::codegen::Generator` can produce pretty print format. However, this seems to be a private interface. And `stringify()`, which is public, unconditionally initialises `Generator::minify` to `false`.

This is to request user controllable "pretty print" serialization formatting.

Pull request:
0.5.0 fixes #8
