Optional struct fields not properly annotated

[luttje]

This code:

Results in this error:

Caused by these annotations of the wiki:

A simple fix would be to annotate the fields as optional, e.g:

---@type Entity?
Bullet.Attacker = self

Besides that I'm not sure if the way default values are annotated is prone to more issues. I mean the self in that annotation file is not going to point to anything useful.

• surface.CreateFont with the FontData struct has the same issue
• Same for trace functions like util.TraceLine with Trace

Since the problem is with all structs it should be relatively easy to find where in the source-code we can append ? to make all fields optional in case a default is specified for the struct in the wiki. At first glance I think its here:

glua-api-snippets/src/api-writer/glua-api-writer.ts

Line 328 in dfca5a1

api += `---@type ${type}\n`;

I think that should become something like:

api += `---@type ${type}${field.default ? '?' : ''}\n`;

If anyone feels like testing this and sending in a PR that would be appreciated
