[ShaderGraph] FormerlySerializedAs do not works with JSon serialisation

Serialization

-

When serializing element with JSonUtility, user should be able to migrate data using provided FormerlySerializedAs attribute as in Yaml.

Step to reproduce:
- Create a project with an old and new data structure with a field only changing by its name using the FormerlySerializedAs attribute. (check provided attached file that contain a test with this.)
- Try to save the old format in a json and then load it in the new structure format.

Expected: if FormerlySerializedAs refer to the old name, the deserialization should be able to retrieve the field value.

What can be seen: FormerlySerializedAs do nothing in case of JSon serialisation.

Note: ShaderGraph serialize the shaders in JSon format. Thus it is currently impossible to migrate data when we make shader upgrade.

  1. Resolution Note:

    We will look to improving JSON support, including FormerlySerializedAs as part of our ongoing feature development, and will continue to track this request internally.
