Add support for std::optional if macro '__cpp_if_constexpr' returns 1

[ferkulat]

I really like the idea to put command line options into optional values. This way the parser is not responsible for setting default values. And if one compiles with C++17 this PR would make it possible to deal with std::optional variables

I've just implemented support for optionals. I forgot about this PR, so I did it slightly differently - although it's very similar.

The main difference is I do use __has_include(<optional>) for detection, but along with __cplusplus >= 201703L. It seems to work on all GCC (and Clang) versions we currently support - and doesn't break on Windows, AFAICS (but I don't think the auto-detection kicks in there, yet). You can also manually override, and supply alternate optional types by #defineing CLARA_CONFIG_OPTIONAL_TYPE to some (template) type, e.g. boost::optional (although I haven't tested that). It should work for any optional type that supports ! for validity and * for extracting the value. The underlying type must still be default constructible.

I fixed parts of the optional support and added the extra tests.
