Unfreeze event before serializing with ujson

In newer versions of https://github.com/esnme/ultrajson, ujson does not
serialize frozendicts (introduced in ultrajson/ultrajson@53f85b1). Although
the PyPI version is still 1.35, Fedora ships with a build from commit
ultrajson/ultrajson@2f1d487. This causes the serialization to fail if the
distribution-provided package is used.

This runs the event through the unfreeze utility before serializing it.

Thanks to @ignatenkobrain for tracking down the root cause.

fixes #2351
