Add jquery.fn.serializeObject

Teeny-tiny jQuery plugin to get form data as an object mapping each form
control's name to its value. I needed this for something and I saw this
pattern already in use in mediawiki.searchSuggest.js, so that's two use-cases.
I thought about calling this 'jquery.formData', but since it's a close analog of
jquery.serializeArray, I think this name is appropriate.
