Represent serial numbers using SerialNumber struct

In a previous commit, we changed the serial number representation from a
string to an integer.  This made it easier to compare serial numbers,
but also introduced new problems:
- Serial numbers should be formatted consistently, for example as
  "{:#010x}".  It is hard to ensure this for an integer value.
- The format of the serial number may be subject to change.  Users
  should not rely too much on the u32 representation.

Therefore we introduce a new SerialNumber struct that represents a
serial number.  Currently it only stores a u32 value.  The following
traits and functions can be used to access its value:
- FromStr for string parsing
- ToString/Display for string formatting
- as_u32 to access the underlying integer value
