dee_serializable_serialize must return non-floating variant

Bug description:
Currently the documentation for dee_serializable_serialize says that
the return value is a floating reference to a GVariant and it is also
used in this way in methods like dee_serializable_externalize, but
since the serialize method is virtual, we cannot make this assumption,
as implementors of DeeSerializable may just return a cached GVariant.
Although this is a subtle API-break, we should do it (ultimately this
change introduces "only" a memory leak, which is already there anyway
if they return non-floating reference).
