add serde serialization support

[keithamus]

This starts work on #63 by adding support for Serialize on Box and Vec, with some basic tests & docs.

I couldn't figure out the right way to implement DeserializeSeed for Vec. I'm a newcommer to rust so I think I need some pointers on how to handle that, as I'm struggling with lifetimes:

#[cfg(feature = "serde")]
impl<'a, T> DeserializeSeed<'a> for Vec<'a, T>
where
    T: Deserialize<'a>,
{
    type Value = ();

    fn deserialize<D>(mut self, deserializer: D) -> Result<Self::Value, D::Error>
    where
        D: Deserializer<'a>,
    {
        struct VecVisitor<'a, T: 'a>(&'a mut Vec<'a, T>);

        impl<'a, T> Visitor<'a> for VecVisitor<'a, T>
        where
            T: Deserialize<'a>,
        {
            type Value = ();

            fn expecting(
                &self,
                formatter: &mut core_alloc::fmt::Formatter,
            ) -> core_alloc::fmt::Result {
                Ok(())
            }

            fn visit_seq<V>(self, mut visitor: V) -> Result<(), V::Error>
            where
                V: SeqAccess<'a>,
            {
                while let Some(elem) = visitor.next_element()? {
                    self.0.push(elem);
                }
                Ok(())
            }
        }

        deserializer.deserialize_seq(VecVisitor::<'a>(self.as_mut()))
    }
}

Thanks! And sorry for the delay giving feedback on this. A handful of comments below.

Can we also test a few other things:

• tuple
• struct w/ a couple fields
• enum w/ a couple variants
• vec w/ a couple elements
• hash map
• hash set

It should be fine to add a dev dependency on serde_derive if it makes this easier, fwiw.

Also, no need to explicitly write out the expected JSON; should be able to call serde_json::to_string(&unboxed_value) and then serde_json::to_string(&boxed_value) and compare the results for equality, I believe. Or compare std::boxed::Box<T> with bumpalo::boxed::Box<'_, T>. Might be worth writing a little helper that does this dance, rather than writing it out in full for all the cases above.

I've added a struct with an enum and option. Hopefully that's sufficient, or would you like me to add more such as the hash map/set?

Thanks!
