Moved helper functions into internal.__init__.py instead of in io.helpers.py as the functions will likely stay the same across different revisions of v3, move helper functions out of io.py to clean up the file a bit, remove Serialization class as not needed at the moment, fix ComfyNodeInternal inherting from ABC breaking lock_class function by removing ABC parent; will need better solution later
