Some type encoders are implemented in Encoder class

Most type encoders for IPC serialization are implemented in the type (T::encode(Encoder&)) or in ArgumentCoder<T> template.

However, arithmetic types and enums are implemented in Encoder.

This makes it hard to implement other types of Encoders, since this code should be somehow duplicated or extracted redundantly to a base template.

Instead, it would be consistent if all the serialization would be in in the T::encode or ArgumentCoder<T>::encode.

This would be important for WebGL IPC, where the stream serialization would in general use the base serialization code, but some details of the Encoder would need to differ.
