• [ ! ] Deprecated AutoKeyValue and AutoAttributeValue (use regular KeyValue and AttributeValue for all cases).
• [ ! ] Deprecated Version structure, please use similar macros BITSERIALIZER_VERSION_*.
• [ ! ] Optimized string serialization, especially for your own types (use internal function Detail::SerializeString()).

• [ + ] Added config.h file with version macros and several other library options (disable std::filesystem, etc).
• [ + ] Added EnumAsBin wrapper for able to serialize enum types as integers (registration is not required in this case).
