Use msgpack extension type to encode datetime objects in the journal

David Douard requested to merge generated-differential-D4655-source into generated-differential-D4655-target

The encoding of datetime objects is done using msgpack extension types (instead of former b'swhtype" custom types).

Support for decoding these later is however provided for backward compatbility.

Also make the serialization code of the journal independant from swh.core.api.serializer.

This later move aims at making the msgpack serialization process of the journal to be specified (and predictable). The code from swh.core is dedicated at RPC and can thus do much more "custom types" than what is needed for the journal. So by not using the serialization code from the swh.core pakage, we make sure we do not inadvertently encode unspecified objects in the journal.
