Bindings: Field that starts with special characters generates wrong binding

[Gjergj]

Description

Go structs which contains fields with json tags such as json:"@ID,omitempty" generate wrong typescript class.

To Reproduce

This struct

type MyStruct struct {
	ID string `json:"@ID,omitempty"`
}

Generates this binding:

export namespace main {
	
	export class MyStruct {
	    "@ID?"?: string;
	
	    static createFrom(source: any = {}) {
	        return new MyStruct(source);
	    }
	
	    constructor(source: any = {}) {
	        if ('string' === typeof source) source = JSON.parse(source);
	        this["@ID"] = source["@ID"];
	    }
	}

}

Where field name "@ID?" is wrong. Notice the extra question mark in the variable name.

And gives this error

Expected behaviour

Expected behaviour is to generate

export namespace main {
	
	export class MyStruct {
	    "@ID"?: string;
	
	    static createFrom(source: any = {}) {
	        return new MyStruct(source);
	    }
	
	    constructor(source: any = {}) {
	        if ('string' === typeof source) source = JSON.parse(source);
	        this["@ID"] = source["@ID"];
	    }
	}

}

To make it work I've added an command in the frontend:build step which executes this replace first

sed -i '' "s/@ID?/@ID/g" myproject/frontend/wailsjs/go/models.ts

and then npm run build which makes it work

Attempted Fixes

I have a possible fix ready master...Gjergj:wails:special_chars_bindings but I'm unsure on the typescript part
