Remove generic std::optional<T> suppport from worker proto

See comment for rational; I think it's good to leave a comment lest
anyone is tempted to add such a sum-type instance again.

Fixes #4113

/* These use the empty string for the null case, relying on the fact
that the underlying types never serialize to the empty string.
We do this instead of a generic std::optional<T> instance because
ordinal tags (0 or 1, here) are a bit of a compatability hazard. For
the same reason, we don't have a std::variant<T..> instances (ordinal
tags 0...n).
We could the generic instances and then these as specializations for
compatability, but that's proven a bit finnicky, and also makes the
worker protocol harder to implement in other languages where such
specializations may not be allowed.
