Description

These classes would be also ideally serializable so we dont need to rely on a forman under adata.uns which we are scared to change. I will make this as an issue to tackle when the time comes

Research direction

Start by locating the spatial_neighbour_x classes and reviewing how their data is currently stored in adata.uns, including the context from issue 1147. Clarify which internals must be serializable and what format should replace the current adata.uns dependency; done means the classes can be serialized without relying on that format.
