Use serde_cbor for more compact serialization of transactions #570

Currently datoms are serialized as json, which is nice for debugging but a bit of an overkill in practice.

We can save about 20% or so on storage and over-the-wire bandwidth costs for the client by serializing via serde_cbor. It would be nice to be able to switch easily between the two modes, but not necessary.
