reflect: treat proxy types correctly when serializing (#12024)

# Objective

- Fixes #12001.
- Note this PR doesn't change any feature flags, however flaky the issue
revealed they are.

## Solution

- Use `FromReflect` to convert proxy types to concrete ones in
`ReflectSerialize::get_serializable`.
- Use `get_represented_type_info() -> type_id()` to get the correct type
id to interact with the registry in
`bevy_reflect::serde::ser::get_serializable`.

---

## Changelog

- Registering `ReflectSerialize` now imposes additional `FromReflect`
and `TypePath` bounds.

## Migration Guide

- If `ReflectSerialize` is registered on a type, but `TypePath` or
`FromReflect` implementations are omitted (perhaps by
`#[reflect(type_path = false)` or `#[reflect(from_reflect = false)]`),
the traits must now be implemented.
