Description

It maybe be useful to allow users to define custom serialization of their types.
The serialization impl that we decided on ( https://github.com/scylladb-zpp-2025-python-rs-driver/python-rs-driver/issues/1 ) does not allow for this.
We would need to add a fallback to one of the other approaches mentioned in the issue. First we need to learn if there is a need for that - perhaps it is unnecessary.

Start by reading issue #1 and the serialization implementation it describes, then compare the alternative approaches mentioned there. Establish whether custom serialization of user types is needed before selecting a fallback approach; done means the need is resolved and the chosen approach is clearly defined.
