Beginning of #6347. Instead of using serde-derive, we generate
`Serialize` impls manually.

This PR makes 2 changes to improve the existing API that are not very useful.
- Remove `(Literal)Parser` and `FlagsParser` and their ASTs
- Add `with_flags(flags_text)` helper to `ParserOptions`
Here are the details.
> Remove `(Literal)Parser` and `FlagsParser` and their ASTs
Previously, the `oxc_regular_expression` crate exposed 3 parsers.
- `(Literal)Parser`: assumes `/pattern/flags` format
- `PatternParser`: assumes `pattern` part only
- `FlagsParser`: assumes `flags` part only
However, it turns out that in actual usecases, only the `PatternParser` is actually sufficient, as the pattern and flags are validated and sliced in advance on the `oxc_parser` side.
The current usecase for `(Literal)Parser` is mostly for internal testing.
There were also some misuses of `(Literal)Parser` that restore `format!("/{pattern}/{flags}")` back and use `(Literal)Parser`.
Therefore, only `PatternParser` is now published, and unnecessary ASTs have been removed.
(This also obsoletes #5592 .)
> Added `with_flags(flags_text)` helper to `ParserOptions`
Strictly speaking, there was a subtle difference between the "flag" strings that users were aware of and the "mode" recognised by the parser.
Therefore, it was a common mistake to forget to enable `unicode_mode` when using the `v` flag.
With this helper, crate users no longer need to distinguish between flags and modes.
As of now if we remove the implementation of a trait for a type and implement the method on that type directly it wouldn't break while it isn't the original trait anymore so that method might do something entirely different.
This change is more explicit on trait calls so we hit compile errors on these kinds of changes.
