GenericRelation Support

[snewcomer]

Is GenericRelation support possible? This is how I would do it with Django rest. Can't get this to work however as I am getting the is not JSON serializable error. Guessing there might be some serialization issue with json api?

# Serializer
class FooSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    included_serializers = {
        'news': NewsSerializer,
    }

    class Meta:
        model = Foo
        fields = ('id', 'news')


# News Serializer
class NewsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = News
        fields = ('id', 'description', 'date')


# Foo Model
class FooModel(models.Model):
    news = GenericRelation(News)


# News Model
class News(models.Model):
    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)
    description = models.TextField(max_length=200, blank=True)
    date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
    object_id = models.UUIDField()
    content_object = GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')

    class JSONAPIMeta:
        resource_name = 'news'

I'd be happy to add some "documentation" through the examples and work through it that way. That is of course if somebody has not already come across this!

I have not tried to use GenericForeignKey so it's possible that it's not implemented. If you want to open a PR with tests I'll happily review it

Any thoughts on getting Generic Relation support? Sry wish I could contribute but a bit overloaded right now (as we all are :) )
