refactor: remove the unused GroupIndex.serialize chain

serialize/deserialize had no production caller, and took with them the
per-chunk signature, the ChaCha20 cipher variant and the zstandard
dependency. Key derivations are unchanged. Docs corrected, including
design §4.3's claim that chunks are compressed.
