OutboxEventSerializer 0.3.0 API

All Implemented Interfaces:
```
public interface OutboxEventSerializer

                    
```
Abstraction for serializing and deserializing outbox event payloads.
This interface defines the contract for converting domain events to/from a storable format. Implementations are responsible for:
- Converting event objects to string representation (JSON, XML, etc.)
- Converting string representation back to typed event objects
- Handling serialization errors gracefully
The serialized format is stored in the outbox database as the event payload, which is later retrieved and deserialized during event processing.
Default Implementation: The framework provides a Jackson-based implementation (JacksonEventOutboxSerializer) that uses Jackson's ObjectMapper for JSON serialization/deserialization.
Custom Implementations: Users can provide custom implementations to support different serialization formats (e.g., Protocol Buffers, MessagePack, etc.) by implementing this interface and registering the bean in their Spring configuration.

```
 abstract String serialize(Object outboxEvent)
```
    Serializes an event object to a string representation.
    The serialized format is stored in the outbox database and must be deserializable back to the original event type using the deserialize method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    outboxEvent - The event object to serialize
    
    Returns:
    
    Serialized representation of the event (typically JSON)
  - deserialize
```
 abstract <T extends Any> T deserialize(String serialized, Class<T> type)
```
    Deserializes a string representation back to a typed event object.
    The provided type information is used to determine the target class for deserialization. This ensures type safety when reconstructing event objects from the outbox database.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serialized - The serialized event data (typically JSON)
    
    type - The target class to deserialize into
    
    Returns:
    
    The deserialized event object of type T
