Typescript: Also allow undefined for `Option<T>`?

[Simon-Laux]

currently its translated to T | null, which is not very convenient for functions with optional arguments.
actually it already accepts undefined, just the typescript types don't allow it yet.

example:

// in js I can do:
await client.getChatlistEntries(3)
// but in ts I need to do this:
await client.getChatlistEntries(3, null, null, null)

I don't see the option in typescript-type-def to tweak it, looks like it should be upstreamed to https://github.com/dbeckwith/rust-typescript-type-def/

To mark an object property as optional ({ prop?: T }), the following will do:

    #[serde(default)]
    prop: Option<T>,

(see dbeckwith/rust-typescript-type-def#3).

For function arguments I don't know of a direct solution.
But if you're dealing with a lot of arguments, it's anyway probably better to utilize a single object argument with optional props. Makes it clear which parameter is null instead of having to look up the function definition and remembering the order of arguments.
