[go-server] Set default values in object properties

[rledisez]

When a default value is set for an object property, ensure it is set into the struct before decoding the JSON body.

Fix #4579

[rledisez]

By applying the default values, this make the usage of default values of a post body consistent with the default values of query parameters

Any feedbacks appreciated @antihax @grokify @kemokemo @jirikuncar @ph4r5h4d @lwj5

Does the default work when there are nested objects?

such as embedded struct, and when a struct is a type for one of the fields.

The previous version was not working in that case. It was just handling basic types (string, int, bool). I took inspiration of the function NewObjectWithDefaults from the "go" templates to create a function that create a struct with defaults for each type and call it when required. I think it does what you asked for.

could you add some tests that generates as such:

struct A {
S1 string
}

struct B {
A
S2 string
}

struct C {
SomeA A
S3 string
}

This is B embeds A, and C has a field of type A. Make sure the code is generated correctly if S1 has a default.
