Subject: [PATCH] fix(ngMock): $httpBackend should match data containing Date
 objects correctly

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 #5127
