[BUG] model_dump defaults to `mode=python`

[orf]

Describe the bug
All calls to BaseModel.model_dump use the default mode argument, which is python and not json. For example:

• django-ninja/ninja/operation.py

  Line 271 in b655532

  result = validated_object.model_dump(

• django-ninja/ninja/responses.py

  Line 23 in b655532

  return o.model_dump()

This means models that use custom types (such as any of these built-in Pydantic types) do not work:

import pydantic, ninja

api = NinjaAPI()

class SomeModel(pydantic.BaseModel):
    url: pydantic.AnyUrl

@api.get("/test")
def example(request) -> SomeModel:
    return SomeModel.model_validate({
        "url": "custom-protocol://foo/bar"
    })

Fails with:

TypeError: Type is not JSON serializable: pydantic_core._pydantic_core.Url

It seems like we should default to using .model_dump(mode='json')?

You could change example to this:

@api.get("/test", response=SomeModel)
def example(request):
    return SomeModel.model_validate({
        "url": "custom-protocol://foo/bar"
    }).model_dump(mode='json')

But this is a shame: we end up calling model_dump and model_validate multiple times (which can be expensive with a lot of data), and we loose type hints on the function.
