Revert "serialize Hash with serde_bytes"

This mostly reverts commits 8416b16 and
dd0afd6.

Changing the serialization of Hash can only be backwards-compatible in
self-describing formats like CBOR. In non-self-describing formats like
bincode, the deserializer has to know in advance which serialization
format was used.

Fixes BLAKE3-team#414.

Reopens BLAKE3-team#412.
