`azure_devops_rust_api::test::models::IdentityRef` contains a mandatory deprecated `uniqueName` field.

I have run into this problem, while trying to call Test - Points - Get Point and the field LastResultDetails contains a run_by with type azure_devops_rust_api::test::models::IdentityRef. However in this case the server doesn't include the uniqueName or really any metadata.

The example in the api does not even include the LastResultDetails field.

The shortened request/response pair which triggers the error:

GET https://dev.azure.com/<ORG>/<PROJ>/_apis/test/Plans/1/Suites/2/points/1?api-version=7.1-preview'

            "displayName": "<My Name>",
            "id": "<my uuid>"
            // Here is the problem, the server doesn't give the `uniqueName` here
        }
    },
    ..
}

I wonder what workaround there is. Because making the uniqueName and Option is technically a breaking change, so I don't expect you to do this right away. But then, it is a deprectated field.

Thanks for any help and thanks for maintaining this Wrapper, it is very useful :)

Thanks very much for the detailed report. Yes, as you suggest the fix is to make the uniqueName field optional. This is a field within IdentityRef. As you say, this is a breaking change for any existing users, but is the right fix to make. I can document the change and the compiler will tell anyone affected when they upgrade.

Okay, nice, yeah I would much appreciate a fix. :) I have now run into this again with another api call.
