Headless Wagtail CMS: Serializing ForeignKeys on Wagtail Pages

Tutorial: https://learnwagtail.com/tutorials/headless-cms-serializing-foreign-keys/
Wagtail for Beginners Course: https://learnwagtail.com/wagtail-for-beginners/

In this video we'll change the default ForeignKey information that's provided by Wagtails v2 API to something a little more useful. The idea is to make less API requests from your headless application, and to provide more useful data on the initial request.

ForeignKey's a wildly helpful feature in Django and Wagtail. But in our Wagtail v2 API we're provided with a couple meta fields, the page id, and the page title. But what if we want more (or less)? That's when custom serialization comes in.
