Auto merge of #77261 - oli-obk:const_generic_array_serializer, r=matthewjasper

Deduplicate and generalize some (de/)serializer impls

I noticed this while implementing #77227 and getting a "not implemented for [T; 16]" error. There's likely more things we can deduplicate in this file, but I didn't need any additional changes.
