I was greeted by `rad patch redact` with
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value:
Error { code: None, message: Some("failed to convert") }
stack backtrace:

It turns out that `sqlite::cursor::Row::read` is the panicky version of
`sqlite::cursor::Row::try_read` (which returns a `Result`).
While it is somewhat rare that SQLite reads fail, it is not unheard of.
In `radicle-cli` it might not be critical, but also `radicle-protocol`
and `radicle-fetch` are affected, and they could potentially panic a
`radicle-node` process.
Use `try_read` instead, and propagate down the error handling.
What made the issue fixed in the parent commit harder to spot
for me was the multitude of concepts and terms involved in
encoding: What's *serializing* vs. *encoding*? Why is there
this odd `Frame::to_bytes`?
So I decided to clean up a bit. I removed `fn serialize` so that the
logic stays close to the data, and instead of it provide
`fn encode_vec` in `trait Encode` so that we don't add up with
one-offs like `Frame::to_bytes` again.
Also we make use of `encode_vec` in the tests.
Mostly changes of `use`s and moving components to `radicle-protocol`,
with the goal of just getting `radicle-node` to work on top of the new
`radicle-protocol` crate.
