optionally enforce serialization of pads
From now on, due to a patch in libxcb, pads will not be serialized anymore. This is to maintain ABI-compatibility when adding explicit align pads. However, some align pads were already be serialized in prior official versions of libxcb. Therefore we need a method to enforce serialization, so we can maintainn ABI compatibility with that legacy.
