Serialization error on Trace level with Atomic Operations

[arcarrillo]

DESCRIPTION

There is an issue with the use of atomic operations in the last version of the library.
The problem is that when we increase the log level to Trace level, the requests begins to fail because it's trying to serialize properties of 'System.Type' type.

We detect that the fail is produced inside the function LogMethodStart located at TraceLogWriter class that's called at the beginning of the implemented method inside, and these are the details of the exception:

Message:
Serialization and deserialization of 'System.Type' instances are not supported. Path: $.TargetedFields.Attributes.Property.PropertyType.

StackTrace:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create an new project with the last version of JsonApiDotNetCore library
2. Add a resource and a controller inheriting the base class BaseJsonApiOperationsController
3. Implement the PostOperationsAsync method and call to the base method.

Sample project:
https://github.com/arcarrillo/jsonapidotnetcore-trace

Sample call to this project (local execution):

curl --location 'https://localhost:7284/api/atomic' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json; ext="https://jsonapi.org/ext/atomic"' \
--data '{
  "atomic:operations": [
    {
      "op": "add",
      "data": {
        "type": "sources",
        "attributes": {
           "name": "1234"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}'

Response:

{
    "links": {
        "self": "https://localhost:7284/api/atomic"
    },
    "errors": [
        {
            "id": "2e365bad-4c41-4f57-84bb-a2e6c6bdc2b1",
            "status": "500",
            "title": "An unhandled error occurred while processing this request.",
            "detail": "Serialization and deserialization of 'System.Type' instances are not supported. Path: $.TargetedFields.Attributes.Property.PropertyType."
        }
    ]
}

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The request should be logged

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

Returns a server error.
