Description
We want to make building pipelines in Haystack easier and want to reduce the number of components in pipelines to make them concise and easier to read.
Examples:
- Add more super components so that users require fewer components for their pipelines
- Consider moving super components to a separate repo or to it's own folder
- Extend default (de-)serialization logic of custom components so that creating a custom component is less effort for users

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Begin by surveying existing super components and the default custom-component serialization logic, then determine whether the work should reduce pipeline components, reorganize super components, or simplify serialization. Done means a concrete, agreed scope with tests or examples showing simpler pipelines or easier custom-component creation.
