Treat unserializable keys as missing in OrderedMapSerializedKey lookups

[SAY-5]

OrderedMapSerializedKey implements the Mapping interface, but .get() / in / [] with a key that fails to serialize against the map's key type (e.g. None on a map<text, ...>) let the serializer's raw AttributeError escape instead of behaving like dict.get(). _serialize_key now treats a key that cannot be serialized as missing, so .get() returns the default, in returns False, and []/del raise KeyError.

Fixes: #946

Pre-review checklist

• I have split my patch into logically separate commits.
• All commit messages clearly explain what they change and why.
• I added relevant tests for new features and bug fixes.
• All commits compile, pass static checks and pass test.
• PR description sums up the changes and reasons why they should be introduced.
• I have provided docstrings for the public items that I want to introduce.
• I have adjusted the documentation in ./docs/source/.
• I added appropriate Fixes: annotations to PR description.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OrderedMapSerializedKey._serialize_key now converts serialization failures into KeyError. Unserializable keys therefore behave as missing keys. Tests verify that get returns None or a supplied default, membership returns False, and indexed access raises KeyError.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9c5bd

The lookup behavior now treats serialization failures as missing keys, but catching every exception could hide unrelated serializer defects and turn them into ordinary misses or KeyErrors. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to narrow the exception handling.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly describes the primary change: treating unserializable keys as missing during lookups.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description explains the bug, fix, expected behavior, tests, and linked issue; unchecked documentation items are not required for this change.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The implementation and tests address issue #946 by translating serialization failures into missing-key behavior for lookups.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	All changes are limited to the requested serialization behavior and its unit-test coverage.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	Docstring check was indeterminate for this PR — some files could not be analyzed in time. Not blocking.

790-796: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Suppress the serializer exception context. Use raise KeyError(str(key)) from None to prevent the serializer exception from appearing in uncaught lookup tracebacks.

Catch only documented invalid-key serialization exceptions. except Exception converts serializer defects, such as RuntimeError, into KeyError. Add deletion coverage for an unserializable key.
