Depend on ast-serialize by default, drop upper version bound

JukkaL · JukkaL · commit cf63ccb0d682 · 2026-04-23T11:59:04.000+01:00
This way parallel checking is available in the default install
(as an experimental feature in mypy 2.0).

We will keep ast-serialize backward compatible. By dropping the
upper version bound, can avoid some minor friction when updating
ast-serialize version to 1.x.

Also `pip install mypy[native-parser]` is no longer supported,
as it's redundant now.
