Description
I'm needing to serialize & deserialize things because the `cached` crate uses serde. I am using `cached` so I can increase performance of some heavy SBOM generation by leveraging caching. There's 2 options which I can see be done. One is make everything in `cyclonedx-bom/src/specs` become public outside of the crate. The other is to make everything have the `serde::Serialize` and `serde::Deserialize` traits. Either option would work but I'd prefer the latter so I don't have to convert between things. If there's another option, I'm all ears but I'm wondering what's the best solution here.

Research direction
Start by inspecting cyclonedx-bom/src/specs and the crate's current public API. Compare exposing those types with adding serde::Serialize and serde::Deserialize support, then check how the cached crate would use the result. Done means external callers can serialize and deserialize the relevant SBOM types without conversion.
