Issue # 580 - Lazy load UNIT_TYPE

Fix using lazy init

Issue #580

[cowtowncoder]

I assume this makes sense (I don't maintain the module nor know the code base well), looks simple enough. But would it be possible to add a basic unit test to verify working (fails before patch, work after)?

Yes...but how to test this scenario, a lazy init of a static val?

I guess I do not know Kotlin well enough to really have good suggestions (or more importantly, be confident there is no practical way).
But it does seem (reading the issue again) that it'd be difficult to reliably verify from unit tests so probably it's fine.
So manual verification (via things that use Jackson) has to suffice.
