Description
Pickle serializer has long been known to be dangerous. This is mitigated by requiring MAC on pickle in cookies, but nevertheless, RCEs continue to happen: https://blog.scrt.ch/2018/08/24/remote-code-execution-on-a-facebook-server/
To further discourage it's use, we should consider deprecating PickleSerializer and moving it into a third party package.

I've solved pickle problems for a couple clients so I thought it's worth picking this up.
