dawn_wire: Use memcpy in Serializer / Deserializer when possible

This patch uses memcpy to copy the arrays in basic types instead
of iterating every elements in a for-loop.

In the next step we will copy specific structures with memcpy.

With this patch, the performance of dawn_perf_tests
BufferUploadPerf.Run/*_WriteBuffer_BufferSize_* with "-w" will
be greatly improved (~30%).
