serde is Rust's next-generation serialisation framework that will eventually supersede rustc_serialize. Convert our JSON and TOML serialisation to use serde. We still depend on rustc_serialize because docopt currently requires it. Closes: ruscur#39 ("migrate from rustc_serialize to serde") Signed-off-by: Andrew Donnellan <andrew.donnellan@au1.ibm.com>

rustc_serialize, for various reasons, is semi-deprecated.serdeis the anointed successor.serdeis significantly more flexible thanrustc_serializeand allows us to do a few things that make our (de)serialisation code just a little bit neater.The only reason to avoid
serderight now is that its derivation features depend on "Macros 1.1", which is currently only in nightly (see rust-lang/rust#35900 - it looks like it will be stabilised sometime quite soon). There is a workaround for stable compilers but it's quite messy. Hopefully, it should work fine with Rust 1.15 (the RFC won't be accepted in time for 1.14).The only thing we still need
rustc_serializefor isdocopt, which doesn't supportserdeyet - this is being tracked at docopt/docopt.rs#128.See https://github.com/ajdlinux/snowpatch/tree/serde for my progress on this.
