57. Clean Up CIF Deserialisation Helpers

Priority: [priority] low

Type: Maintainability

serialize.py has several TODOs: verify methods after the format_param_value section, extract a helper for quoted-string stripping, find a better way to set _item_type on CategoryCollection, rename it to _item_cls, and remove duplicated param_from_cif logic.

TODOs:

• serialize.py
• serialize.py
• serialize.py
• serialize.py
• serialize.py

Depends on: nothing.
