Latest versions of rust will panic when trying to leave an uninitialized SerializedValue from mem::uninitialized which was breaking the js! macro

assume_init should only be called after the tag has also been initialized.

Also this is still wrong for many cases -- the assignment of untagged might fail to completely initialize both data_1 and data_2.
And finally, if untagged is a pointer type, then this would transmute a pointer to an integer, which is not something one should do. SerializedValue seems to be intended as a type that can hold arbitrary data, so u64 and u32 are the wrong types -- those types are specifically for integers, not for arbitrary data. Use e.g. MaybeUninit<u64> for arbitrary data of size 64 bits.
