Lets keep these in parallel. Why not change the first to be
SkSerializeImageFilter()?

Please add some comments.

+SK_API SkImageFilter* SkDeserializeImageFilter(const void* data, size_t size)

Will/might there be a need to serialize other objects? Would it make sense to
make this generic like readFlattenableT?

Related: it seems odd to me that you can flatten any SkFlattenable object, but
you can only deserialize SkImageFilters.
