Testing with --no-default-features didnt seem to work in CI

@escritorio-gustavo Could you take a quick peek at this?

As far as I can tell the CI ran cargo t --no-default-features only in the root directory, where the --no-default-features argument does nothing. So, possibly, default-features = false has been broken for a while. Oops!

Biggest change I've made here is to remove almost all of the #[cfg(feature = "serde-compat")] gates - I only kept them where we actually need them (e.g for printing the warning - we don't have the termcolor dependency without serde-compat).

In the other places, I used if cfg!(feature = "serde-compat") instead. That makes a lot of things, especially imports, easier.
As you can see in the CI run for the first commit, those were most of the issues - crate::attr::Serde was imported, but it was gated behind the feature flag.

Does this seem alright to you?

Oops, sorry about that! Thankfully #290 hasn't been published yet as it was made after the release of version 8.1.0, so hopefully no one has been affected

Sure! I'm fine with both

Ah, perfect! I thought you did those changes quite some time ago. Even better!
