BigDecimalclass has some stateful fields that result in an encoding that isn't determined by only the value. This causes problems in a framework like Apache Beam where serialized bytes are used to perform mutation checking on values (see spotify/scio#1170).This PR addresses the problem by registering a deterministic
BigDecimalSerializer, which simply encodes the underlying JavaBigDecimalinstance, which is immutable.
