Subject: [PATCH] serde: allow tracing-serde to work on no_std. (#960)

Allows `tracing-serde` to work on devices without `std`.

*  Enable `#[no_std]` in `tracing-serde` when `cfg(not(feature = std))`
*  No longer have unnecessary dependencies on std in serde/tracing.

No behavior differences or actual code changes other than allowing
for core/alloc fallbacks.
