tracker issue : CF-4202006

Problem Description:
SerializeJSON loses type info from properties defined in the parent class when serializing a subclass.

Steps to Reproduce:
foo.cfc:
{code:java}
/**
* @output false
* @accessors true
**/
component{

	/**
	* @getter true
	* @setter false
	**/
	property string numStr;

	variables.numStr = "";

	/**
	* @output false
	**/
	public foo function init(){
		variables.numStr = "1234";

		return this;
	}
}
{code}

bar.cfc:
{code:java}
/**
* @output false
* @accessors true
* @extends foo
**/
component{

	/**
	* @output false
	**/
	public bar function init(){
		variables.numStr = "1234";

		return this;
	}
}
{code}


test.cfm:
{code:java}
<cfscript>
	cFoo = new foo();
	Writeoutput(SerializeJSON(cFoo)); //{"numStr":"1234"}

	cBar = new bar(); //inherits from foo.cfc
	Writeoutput(SerializeJSON(cBar)); //{"numStr":1234} //do you even datatype bro??
</cfscript>
{code}


Actual Result:
{"numStr":1234}

Expected Result:
{"numStr":"1234"}

Any Workarounds:
None. Tried setting metadata on variables scope in the cfc, but naturally, variables scope is not a true struct.
