Hey @mrowqa, can you give some context around this change: why is it useful, what does it change? (if it becomes lengthy, please open an issue!)
Is this covered by tests, and if not can you add some, please? Thanks!

The original reason was cache system in Wasmtime. It uses serde for serialization of compilation cache which consists of
SecondaryMaps (among others). At the time of implementing the cache system, I had implemented simplerSecondaryMapserializer (current code) that uses whole byte for a bit flag (presence of an object at a given index) and this PR changes the serializer to pack these bit flags compactly. After implementing the simpler serialization, I had added compression to the cache system, so using whole bytes for single bit information shouldn't affect too much the size of the final cache that lands on user disk. I haven't measured the difference in performance and peak memory usage (intermediate step - after decompression, before deserialization) that this PR introduces.The change is tested by Wasmtime cache system tests.

Thanks for the PR again, and as a procedural note the Cranelift repository has now merged into the wasmtime repository.
PRs are no longer landing in this repository, and unfortunately there's no "one button" solution to move a PR to the wasmtime repository. A script has been prepared, however, to assist you in transferring this PR to the wasmtime repo. Feel free to reach out on Zulip with any questions!

We'll archive this repository in favor of the Wasmtime repository — see Alex's comment about the merge above. I'm closing this PR now in order to have an explanation in a comment before archiving the repo auto-closes all PRs.
