Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I want to allow many values to be overridden using `vars` but still provide defaults/fallback values when the var is not set. This is possible with the "or" operator:
```
${{vars.optional_config || 'default value'}}
```
However, this currently generates a warning "Context access might be invalid: optional_config"
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The static analyser should detect that the `||` operator provides a default and not generate a warning.
Alternatively, provide a function (e.g. `val_or_default(vars.optional_config, 'default value')`) to make the user's intention explicit to the linter.
