json_params_matcher does not support general JSONs (e.g. lists of dicts)
### Describe the bug

The implementation of `json_params_matcher` does not support arbitrarily nested JSON objects, such as lists of dicts. 

It says so in the signature: 

`def json_params_matcher(params: Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) -> Callable[..., Any]:`

and the simple check of `params_dict == json_body` is not enough. Additionally, an Exception is raised in this section, as a dict is expected.

`
            if not valid:
                reason = "request.body doesn't match: {} doesn't match {}".format(
                    _create_key_val_str(json_body), _create_key_val_str(params_dict)
                )
`

### Additional context

I can provide a PR, but there are different ways to tackle this:

- Custom function to recursively check => no dependencies
- Adopting something like https://github.com/seperman/deepdiff or https://github.com/xlwings/jsondiff to support with the extraction of reasons for JSONs being not equal

As this might entail additional dependencies, I'd like to get your opinion on this before submitting a PR.

### Version of `responses`

0.21.0

### Steps to Reproduce

```python
import json
from unittest.mock import Mock

from responses.matchers import _create_key_val_str, json_params_matcher


json_a = [{"a": "b"}]
json_b = [{"a": "b", "c": "d"}]
mock_request = Mock(body=json.dumps(json_b))
result = json_params_matcher(json_a)(mock_request)
print(result)

```

### Expected Result

`result` should be (False, "<reason>"), no error is thrown

### Actual Result

AttributeError is raised: 'list' object has no attribute 'keys'
