When building serde_core for wasm32v1-none target with no_std but with
the alloc feature enabled, the Rust compiler doesn't automatically inject
the prelude. This causes ?Sized bounds to fail with "bound modifier ?
can only be applied to Sized" errors.
This commit adds explicit prelude imports to all modules that:
1. Use `use crate::lib::*;` for serde's internal lib facade
2. Use `?Sized` bounds in their code
The fix adds:
```rust
#[allow(unused_imports)]
#[cfg(not(feature = "std"))]
use ::core::prelude::rust_2021::*;
```
This ensures Sized, Clone, Copy, and other prelude traits are in scope
for the ?Sized syntax to work correctly on wasm32v1-none targets.

This prevents diagnostics being rendered like `serde_core::ser::Serialize`
and `serde_core::de::Deserialize` in projects that have no direct
dependency on serde_core.
The attributes make error messages arguably sometimes worse than
pre-serde_core by always rendering `serde::Serialize` and never
`Serialize` when `use serde::Serialize` is in scope, which rustc's
default message construction knows to recognize. But this is probably
negligible.
I explored the alternative of setting `[lib] name = "serde"` in
serde_core/Cargo.toml which also prevents `serde_core::ser::Serialize`
in messages, but has the unwanted effect of also inserting the following
noise into every such error:
note: there are multiple different versions of crate `serde` in the dependency graph

The "this is the found trait" pointing to `IdentifierDeserializer` seems
like a compiler bug...
