Fabric component: codegen drops optional state for component properties and in events properties

Description

When adding optional values to the specs for a Fabric component, these optionals are always bridged with a default value and as a result are always defined and no longer optional.

Example spec:

type Prop1 = Readonly<{
    propContent: string;
    propOptionalContent1?: string;
    propOptionalContent2?: string;
}>;
type Prop2 = Readonly<{
    propContent: string;
    propOptionalContent1?: string;
    propOptionalContent2?: string;
}>;
export type NativeEvent1 = Readonly<{
    nativeEventContent: string;
    nativeEventOptionalContent1?: string;
    nativeEventOptionalContent2?: string;
}>;
export type NativeEvent2 = Readonly<{
    nativeEventContent: string;
    nativeEventOptionalContent1?: string;
    nativeEventOptionalContent2?: string;
}>;
export interface NewArchViewProps extends ViewProps {
    prop1: Prop1;
    prop2: Prop2;
    onNativeEvent1: DirectEventHandler<NativeEvent1>;
    onNativeEvent2: DirectEventHandler<NativeEvent2>;
}

Codegen creates:

struct NewArchViewProp1Struct {
  std::string propContent{};
  std::string propOptionalContent1{};
  std::string propOptionalContent2{};
};
struct NewArchViewProp2Struct {
  std::string propContent{};
  std::string propOptionalContent1{};
  std::string propOptionalContent2{};
};
struct OnNativeEvent1 {
  std::string nativeEventContent;
  std::string nativeEventOptionalContent1;
  std::string nativeEventOptionalContent2;
};
struct OnNativeEvent2 {
  std::string nativeEventContent;
  std::string nativeEventOptionalContent1;
  std::string nativeEventOptionalContent2;
};

Every time an optional value is left out on 1 side of the bridge, the other side receives a default value (e.g optional string is filled in with empty string ""). Setting a default using WithDefault<> gives control over this default, but still does not respect the optional status of the properties.

As a result the old architecture versus the new architecture result in completely different objects being bridged. One has optional data where the other is always prop complete but with defaults.

Steps to reproduce

Add the above specs to a new arch enabled project and check the generated props.h and EventEmmiter.h for the generated code.

The linked reproducer has these in place.

Bắt đầu với các đặc tả component và event bằng TypeScript từ issue, sau đó tái tạo output trong props.h và EventEmmiter.h được sinh ra bằng branch reproducer/no-optionals của reproducer được liên kết. Theo dõi cách codegen xử lý các thuộc tính tùy chọn và so sánh props cùng các event được sinh ra với ví dụ. Được xem là hoàn tất khi các giá trị tùy chọn bị bỏ qua vẫn là tùy chọn thay vì trở thành các giá trị được khởi tạo mặc định ở phía bên kia của bridge.
