Enable json serialization of ScalarizedOutcomeConstraint

Summary:
Adds JSON serialization/deserialization support for ScalarizedOutcomeConstraint in Ax's JSON storage.

= Background

ScalarizedOutcomeConstraint differs from OutcomeConstraint in that it holds a list of metrics and weights instead of a single metric. Accessing .metric on a ScalarizedOutcomeConstraint raises NotImplementedError, so the existing outcome_constraint_to_dict encoder cannot be reused.

= Solution

This diff implements a dedicated encoder (scalarized_outcome_constraint_to_dict) following the same pattern as ScalarizedObjective.

= Motivation

This issue was discovered when serializing an experiment loaded from the Ax DB via object_to_json. The experiment's historical GeneratorRun objects contained ScalarizedOutcomeConstraint instances (set by Bayesian optimization), which caused serialization to fail.

**Note:** The SQA (database) store already handles this type; the JSON store was the only gap.
