fix(ngMock): $httpBackend should match data containing Date objects correctly

bcaudan · petebacondarwin · commit 1025f6ebf4e5 · 2014-10-20T13:06:44.000+01:00
If a response or expectation contained a date object then `$httpBackend.expect` was not matching correctly. This commit encodes then decodes the object being matched to ensure consistency. Closes angular#5127
