Fix custom registered test not being passed from client to server

[jboisvertrodeofx]

This is a fix for a bug where the registered test function (i.e. the function registered with pyblish.logic.register_test) is not passed from the pyblish-qml client to the server, which ends up always using the default test function.

The issue was discussed with more details and a code sample here: #363

Thanks for this!

I had a look at whether there was a way we can avoid modifying the JSON encoding/decoding, and think I found something that works.

I wasn't able to push to your PR, but here's the commit I made as an old school "patch" that you can apply on your end.

Let me know what you think!

Hey @mottosso sorry about the delay, I was off for the last 3 days. I applied your patch and tested it, and it seems that everything still works!

[mottosso]

Great news! Merging and releasing this. Thanks @jboisvertrodeofx.
