This change removes support for `VFS` in `SerializationFormat`,
introduced in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/179516/. `VFS`
only provides a virtual input backend and its matched pair,
`VirtualOutputBackend`, does not provide support for an
`InMemoryOutputBackend`. There was an attempt from our end to implement
this support in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/179515 but it
did not succeed. Supporting virtual reads but not virtual writes makes
the SerializationFormat APIs asymmetric. So we have decided to remove
`VFS` support altogether.

Add `FormatInfoEntry` template to support per-analysis-type
serialization within a `SerializationFormat`.
This allows to implement different formats for the different analyses in
a decoupled way.
For testing, this patch also implements the MockSerializationFormat
demonstrating the FormatInfo sub-registry pattern.

Add a registry infrastructure for SerializationFormat implementations,
enabling registration and instantiation of different serialization
formats.
For example:
```c++
static SerializationFormatRegistry::Add<MyFormat>
RegisterFormat("MyFormat", "Description");
```
Formats can then be instantiated by name using `makeFormat()`.
The patch also updates the SerializationFormat base class to accept
FileSystem for virtualising reading inputs eg. by using file overlays in
the future.

To support multiple serialization formats in SSAF this PR adds a common
serialization format interface. We will separately implement a
serialization format registry similar to
[this](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/173290) PR, followed by
a JSON-based serialization format.
