This adds a new
encore.dev/types/optionpackage for Encore.go, with a new typeoption.Option[T]for representing optional values.This improves Encore's support for representing optional types in APIs. It's also something that we've internally found to be useful again and again in large code bases, where it's difficult to keep track of whether a pointer value *T means the type is nullable or not.
