Bug Fixes for Serialization Messaging (NGWPC-9908)

[idtodd]

This PR adds additional support for serialization.

Additions

• Header information on the serialized data to store the size of the data to read. This is needed by the boost archive reader as it cannot read from a pointer with no length.

Testing

1. Jeff Wade tested with several NGEN formulations to show saving and loading with no errors.
