Use explicit features rather than implicit.

In Rust 2024 edition, implicit features from optional dependencies
are going away and explicit features are required.

This changes all features using optional dependencies to use the
"dep:" syntax to avoid creating implicit features.

It also adds new explicit features for optional dependencies that
didn't previously have an explicit feature to enable them.

This does mean that some previously publicly visible features are
now gone, like `serde`. These features would not have worked
previously as the code is guarded by, for example, checks for
`feature = "serde1"`, so just enabling the optional dependency
wouldn't have been sufficient to enable the code.
