Fixes #68.

Rexports parity-scale-codec as scale for use in the derive macro.

@Robbepop's main issue with this was #61 (comment):

the scale-info crate works with multiple parity-scale-codec versions. So re-exporting one of the supported versions would case a lock-in and potentially a duplication of dependencies in case the scale-info user does not also use the same version.

However I believe we avoid this issue by having a suitably relaxed major version constraint on the parity-scale-codec dependency as per https://crates.io/crates/scale-info/0.7.0/dependencies.

Note that currently in the master branch we have restricted to a codec pre-release, but will likely loosen that back to major versions once 2.2.0 is released.

I support this and am convinced this is the right step forward for this crate.
