Don't send created_by and updated_by attrs in API requests

refs TryGhost/Ghost#9548
- refactor serialisers to use `serialize` rather than `serializeToHash` to avoid code duplication
- strip `created_by` and `updated_by` attrs when serializing - Ghost will set these automatically based on the currently logged in user
