Martin Vrachev 8327ea12d3 Make (De)SerializationError a RepositoryError
SerializationError and DeserializationError are both errors coming
from the repository side looking from the clients point of view.
That's why it makes sense to make them repository errors.

"""``tuf.api.serialization`` module provides abstract base classes and concrete
implementations to serialize and deserialize TUF metadata.
Any custom de/serialization implementations should inherit from the abstract
base classes defined in this module. The implementations can use the
``to_dict()``/``from_dict()`` implementations available in the Metadata
API objects.
- Metadata de/serializers are used to convert to and from wireline formats.
- Signed serializers are used to canonicalize data for cryptographic signatures
generation and verification.
