§Format ‘deb822’ for serde

Implement serializer and deserializer for serde.

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
// In deb822, we not have standard, some field named on PascalCase and other
// with title-capitalized kebab-case (not supported by serde)
#[serde(rename_all = "PascalCase")]
struct Info<'a> {
  // Extract value with zero-copy
  #[serde(rename="Borrow-Str")]
  borrow_str: &'a str,
  // or by copy
  string: String,

  // 'yes' and 'no' value are parsed as bool
  flag: bool,

  // number (int and float) are parsed with [`FromStr::from_str`]
  size: u64,

  // When value is 2-tuple, first element is the first line and second element
  // is followed line (The second value can't be borrowed, because one space
  // at start line must be removed)
  description: (&'a str, String),
  // You can also extract each line separated
  description_alt: (&'a str, Vec<&'a str>),
  // or not extract separate first-line
  description_alt2:  Vec<&'a str>,
}
