* Allow LeSer/BeSer impls missing Serialize/Deserialize
Currently, using `LeSer` or `BeSer` requires that the type implements
both `Serialize` and `DeserializeOwned`, even if we're only using the
trait for one of those functionalities.
Moving the bounds to the methods gives the convenience of the traits
without requiring unnecessary derives.
* Remove unused #[derive(Serialize/Deserialize)]
This should hopefully reduce compile times - if only by a little bit.
Some of these were already unused (we weren't using LeSer/BeSer for the
types), but most are have *become* unused with the change to
LeSer/BeSer.

This module adds two traits that implement bincode-based serialization.
BeSer implements methods for big-endian encoding/decoding.
LeSer implements methods for little-endian encoding/decoding.
Right now, the BeSer and LeSer methods have the same names, meaning you
can't `use` them both at the same time. This is intended to be a safety
mechanism: mixing big-endian and little-endian encoding in the same file
is error-prone. There are ways around this, but the easiest fix is to
put the big-endian code and little-endian code in different files or
submodules.
