Update to serde 1.0 branch

[dtolnay]

TODO:

• Support deserializing borrowed data.

Ah! You beat me to it! I got about half of this done over the weekend, so I'm super happy that you finished up!

According to bincode_bench, this upgrade is faster too!

[TyOverby]

Btw, Servo is planning on adding support for bincode in webrender here: servo/webrender#1124 (comment)

They're concerned about deserializing perf, so I was wondering if you had some insight into why deserializing seems to be a lot more costly than serializing. Their structures seem to be mostly structs and enums, and I was wondering if there is anything we could do to speed it up?

[dtolnay]

@TyOverby I'll leave the zero-copy refactor to you.

[TyOverby]

@dtolnay Sounds good. Merge now, zero copy later?

[dtolnay]

Sure, just make sure not to publish it until then. Maybe stick a publish = false in Cargo.toml.

👍
