Built-in support for numpy data-types

Description

Hi,

Would there be any interest in adding support for numpy datatypes? Currently, attempting to encode these fails:

import msgspec.json as mjson
import numpy as np

mjson.encode(np.float64(1.0))

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 4, in <module>
    mjson.encode(np.float64(1.0))
TypeError: Encoding objects of type numpy.float64 is unsupported

This seems like quite a common use case given the popularity of numpy, and to me it seems there are fairly obvious target data JSON types in most situations.

OTOH I appreciate that this can be done via extensions and that trying to support every third party library under the sun is like painting the Forth Bridge.

That'd be great, torch would be cool too but I think it should at least be less expensive to load directly to numpy and convert to torch than to go from list to torch.

I need the support for numpy too 👍
