What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Master and branch-3.3 will fail to derive schema for case classes with generic parameters if the parameter was not used directly as a field, but instead pass on as a generic parameter to another type. e.g.
This is a regression from the latest release of 3.2.1 where this works as expected.
Why are the changes needed?
Support more general case classes that user might have.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Better support for generic case classes.
How was this patch tested?
New specs in ScalaReflectionSuite and ExpressionEncoderSuite. All the new test cases that does not use value classes pass if added to the 3.2 branch
