Pass serialization as parameter attribute

Browse source 
Changes the implementation of the serialization to be on an attribute of
the source XML element within settings.xml. This removes the need for a
new file containing the serialization.
Parameters are provided as a key-value string, separated by a comma and
a space, although the implementation can change this is required.
Change example values to align with existing custom_source to make
comparisons easier.
Update documentation to be consistent.

-------------------------
If the custom source may be used with parameters at a variety of values then it
may be necessary to serialize the source to an appropriate format (XML, JSON,
etc.) in order to avoid recompiling the source library for each run. This is
supported by defining the ``source_sampling`` function with an additional
parameter that receives the serialized form of the source:

The details of the serialization routine, in particular the schema of the source
are to be defined by the implementation of the serializable source class. The
location of the serialized representation of the source to be used must be
provided via the :attr:`openmc.Source.serialization` attribute, along with the
provided via the :attr:`openmc.Source.parameters` attribute, along with the
custom source library location in :attr:`openmc.Source.library`.
When defining a class to be implemented via this deserialization approach, care
