Implement fallible deserialization #2

Sometimes data providers provide data which does not adhere 100% to the schema.

Currently serde completely fails to deserialize such data, even if the majority is usable. Think of and implement a way to work around this:

This is currently blocked by https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/issues/1587 because I don't want to re-implement the derivation of Deserialize so that i can have a custom deserialization for each class schema.
