fix: deserialize empty images from null

[plustik]

Description

Adjust the derived implementation of Deserialize for SimplifiedPlaylist. Instead of returning an error when deserializing the value null for the field images, this value is deserialized to an empty Vec. This is necessary, because the Spotify-API is returning null instead of an empty array for this field in some instances.

Motivation and Context

This fixes the problem described in https://github.com/ramsayleung/rspotify/issues/459. The Spotify-API is returning null instead of an empty array for the images-field in some instances.

Dependencies

None

Type of change

Please delete options that are not relevant.

• [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• [ ] This change requires a documentation update

How has this been tested?

The change was tested by using the patched version of rspotify in this project.

Is this change properly documented?

I don't think this needs to be documented. The change won't affect the behavior of rspotify when the Spotify-API returns images: []. When the Spotify-API returns images: null current_user_playlists wasn't usable prior to this change. In this case the PR implements the expected behavior.

Would just using #[serde(default)] also work? https://serde.rs/attr-default.html

Reading through the issue seems like it wouldn't work: https://github.com/ramsayleung/rspotify/issues/459#issuecomment-2025391563

#[serde(default)] would not work. This is also discussed here. The workaround given there is almost the same as the one I copied from here.
