Add serde_codegen and build script for stable Rust

This is necessary because stable Rust does not yet support custom #[derive]
implementations, which are needed for Serde's Serialize/Deserialize traits.

Serde has a macro package and compiler plugin which handle those, but compiler
plugins are *also* not availble in stable Rust, so we instead have to generate
code at build time using serde_codegen.

Bug for `custom_derive` feature: rust-lang/rust#29644

Bug for compiler plugins: rust-lang/rust#29597
