Auto-derived TypedBuilder traits in combination with strip_option attributes are very hard to use in scenarios where options passed to the builder depend on user input. The problem is that this pattern doesn't work, since the two match branches return different types:

let builder = match x {
    None => builder,
    Some(x) => builder.x(x),
};

Fortunately typed_builder 0.20 supports an additional attribute (fallback) that generates a builder method that takes Option<T> in addition to the method that takes naked T.

With this attribute, we can write let builder = builder.x_opt(x).

This commit adds the fallback attribute to all fields that have the strip_option annotation.

Auto-derived `TypedBuilder` traits in combination with `strip_option`
attributes are very hard to use in scenarios where options passed to the
builder depend on user input. The problem is that this pattern doesn't
work, since the two match branches return different types:

```rust
let builder = match x {
    None => builder,
    Some(x) => builder.x(x),
};
```

Fortunately typed_builder 0.20 supports an additional attribute
(`fallback`) that generates a builder method that takes `Option<T>` in
addition to the method that takes naked `T`.

With this attribute, we can write `let builder = builder.x_opt(x)`.

This commit adds the `fallback` attribute to all fields that have the
`strip_option` annotation.
