Introduce new serialization macros without casts
This new approach uses a static method which takes the object as
a argument. This has the advantage that its constness can be a
template parameter, allowing a single implementation that sees the
object as const for serialization and non-const for deserialization,
without casts.
More boilerplate is included in the new macro as well.
