Make extended route types survive a parsing / serializing round trip

Hello, sorry for the long delay.

I agree that the current implementation looses information, and we should avoid that.

However, with the extended modes, maybe we should just natively store the number, without any matching, and have a categorized or simplified method as you did.
An other solution would be that each variant stores an integer. Wouldn’t it become cumbersome to use?

Both solutions would however be a breaking change. I’m a bit reluctant. Any opinion here @antoine-de

I thought since this crate is still using 0ver this might be fine to have small breaking changes. We did it before with making route colours optional as well.
