This allows a field to be deserialized with an expression instead
of the default deserializer. This simplifies deserializing a struct
or enum that contains an external type that doesn't implement
`serde::Deserialize`. This expression is passed a variable
`deserializer` that needs to be used to deserialize the expression.
This allows a field to be serialized with an expression instead

`serializer` that needs to be used to serialize the expression.
This allows end users to use an arbitrary expression to decide whether
or not to serialize some field. This expression has access to all the
fields in the struct, but none of the internal state of the Serialize
implementation. For structs, serde implements this by creating a
temporary trait and implementing the struct for it. For struct variants,
the fields are copied by reference into a temporary struct first
before implementing the temporary trait.
This also fixes a bug where the serde_codegen wasn't making calls to
Serializer::serialize_{tuple,struct}_variant{,_elt}.
This feature adds support for the default to be specified to be
some expression (which unfortunately needs to be parsed from
a string) without needing this value to have an implementation
of `Default`, or for a new-type wrapper in order to provide an
alternative implementation. This expression is run in a function,
and therefore has no access to any of the internal state of
the deserializer.
According to #61, if one uses serde to serialize requests that pass
url-encoded parameters to a server, it might get responses back
with a different capitalization scheme. This patch restores the
behavior implemented in #62.

This feature has never been used, and it's complicating the
implementation of #207. We could restore this functionality if there is
ever interest in it.
Closes#211.
The only way to safely serialize a `Path` is to use
`.to_string_lossy()`, which replaces invalid UTF-8 characters with
the U+FFFD replacement character. Unfortunately this would lose
information, so for our default implementations, it'd be better
to punt and report an error, and leave it up to the user to
decide if they want to use the lossy encoding.
Unfortunately, we had no way for `Serializer`s to require some methods
on `Serializer::Error`, so there was no way before this patch for
the `Path` implementation to generically report that it cannot encode
this value. This adds that implementation.
