* Implement serialization with msgpack library
- encode custom python objects with a msgpack extension type, with constructor path string, and args encoded as nested msgpack doc
* Smaller msgpack extension types
* Update lock files
* lock
* Don't delegate to pydantic json
* Fix kafka serde
- should use our serializer to load, as inputs to subgraphs are serialized using it
* Performance improvements in checkpointer libs
- Use sha1 instead of md5 for hashing (faster in python 3.x)
- Use orjson instead of json for json dumping (sadly can't use for json loading)
* Update tests
* Update
* Use random number instead of hash for get_version_number
* Avoid saving writes for the last task to complete in each step
- only when possible, exceptions for ERROR, INTERRUPT, SEND
* Make Channel.from_checkpoint a regular function
- context manager no longer needed since Context became a managed value
* Use __slots__ for Channels
* Fix for kafka
* Remove unused fil;e
* Add benchmark-fast command for running locally
* Small improvements to jsonplus serializer
* Don't use PregelNode.mapper when schema is a typed dict
- All it would do is create a new copy of same dict
* Avoid copying checkpoint when fetching at beginning of loop
* Fix needs array
* Update tests
