The sequence deformatter was not respecting strict mode. Now, if strict mode is set, it will reject anything that is not a sequence. In weak mode, it will accept a non-sequence list but call array_values() on it to coerce it to a sequence.
That allows fields to opt-in to being more permissive about what they accept, but still guarantees that after deserialiation a #[SequenceField] field will have a proper list/sequence in it, period.
There may be more strictness checks we can include, based on the array and key type, but that's for another time.
Motivation and context
Resolves #29.
