Serialize to binary if the serde format is not human readable

This implements the KISS suggested in https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/issues/790.
It is possible that one of the other approaches may be better but this
seemed like the simplest one to reignite som discussion.

Personally I find the original suggestion of adding two traits perhaps slightly
cleaner in theory but I think it ends up more complicated in the end
since the added traits also need to be duplicated to to the `Seed`
traits.

Closes #790
