The files `slang-fossil.{h,cpp}` define a new serialization format that is designed to support data being memory-mapped in and then traversed as-is.
The `docs/design/serialization.md` document was updated with details on this new format.
The `slang-serialize-fossil.{h,cpp}` files define implementations of the recently introduced `ISerializerImpl` interface for reading/writing this new binary format.
The overall structure of these implementations is heavily based on the existing RIFF implementation from `slang-serialize-riff.{h,cpp}`.
Switching the AST serialization over to use this format required almost no changes to `slang-serialize-ast.cpp`.
The new format is more space-efficient than the RIFF-based format in memory (by factor of over 2x), but is actually *worse* than the RIFF-based format in terms of how it affects the size of `slang.dll`, because the new format is seemingly less amenable to LZ4 compression.
A few pieces of utility code were added or moved as part of this work:
* The `core/slang-internally-linked-list.*` implementation is just a type that was used as part of `core/slang-riff.*`, but that wasn't really RIFF-specific.
* The `core/slang-blob-builder.*` files implement a low-level utility for building a binary format in memory out of "chunks". The overall structure of this type is based on the RIFF-specific builder implementation, but has been generalized so that it should apply to other kinds of binary serialization.
* The `core/slang-relative-ptr.h` file implements a simple relative pointer type, which is currently only used by the `slang-fossil.h` format.
If there are concerns about adopting the new format immediately for the AST, this change could be modified to introduce all the new code, but leave the AST serialization using the previous RIFF-based format.

This change takes the new approach to serialization that was used for the AST and generalizes it in a few ways:
* The new approach is no longer tangled up with the RIFF format.
The serialization system supports multiple different implementations of the underlying format.
The existing RIFF format is now supported as one back-end, but support for others will follow in subsequent changes.
* The new approach is no longer deeply specialized to AST serialization.
The old code had things like serialization for `List`s and `Dictionary`s, but it was embedded inside the `AST{Encoding|Decoding}Context`, and thus couldn't be leveraged for other serialization tasks.
This change factors out a completely AST-independent `Serializer` implementation, with an `ASTSerializer` layered on top of it to provide the additional context needed.
* There is less duplication of code between reading and writing of serialized data.
The old code had both the `ASTEncodingContext` and `ASTDecodingContext`, with serialization logic for most types being implemented in both, but with the constraint that those implementations needed to be kept in sync to avoid serialization-related runtime failures.
A key property of the revamped approach is that a single `serialize()` method for a type implements both the reading and writing directions of serialization.

Make dumping produce a single function with switch, to potentially make available without Dump specific access.
* WIP on serialization design doc.
* Remove project references to previously generated files.
* More docs on serialization design.
* Improve serialization documentation.
Remove unused function from IRSerialReader.
