Request for review - std.serialization (orange)

[Jacob Carlborg]

std.serialization (orange) is now ready to be reviewed.

A couple of notes for the review:

* The most important packages are: orange.serialization and 
orange.serialization.archives

* The unit tests are located in its own package, I'm not very happy 
about putting the unit tests in the same module as the rest of the code, 
i.e. the serialization module. What are the options? These test are 
quite high level. They test the whole Serializer class and not 
individual functions.

* I'm using some utility functions located in the "util" and "core" 
packages, what should we do about those, where to put them?

* Trailing whitespace and tabs will be fixed when/if the package gets 
accepted

* If this get accepted should I do a sub-tree merge (or what it's 
called) to keep the history intact?

Changes since last time:

* I've removed any Tango and D1 related code
* I've removed all unused functions (hopefully)
