Reviewers

By default, Python's json module can't encode a set. This hasn't
historically been a problem for us, but with the introduction of code
safety checks in Review Board, we're now trying to encode sets in
responses.

This change adds formal support for a set in all of our JSON
serializers, including that for the API. The set is turned into a
sorted list of items.

Unit tests passed.

Verified that I could retrieve API results containing encoded sets.
