Require restriction type for a lane restriction #81

Currently, none of the fields on lane_restriction entity that are present in the output data feed are required. That means it's possible for the lane_restrictions field on the lane object to contain an array of empty objects, that is

{
  "lanes": [
    {
      "lane_restrictions: [{},{}],
    }
  ]
}

Requiring restriction type on the lane_restriction entity would solve this issue and is a simple fix. I don't see a downside to having this required as a lane restriction is useless without the type.

Comments received during the V3 Specification Update Subgroup meeting on 4/29/2020:

Chris Brookes MDOT: so how would working outside the roadway be added? Tree Clearing Surveying operations? We want to show the workers on the side of the road. as this is a common work type. I just wanted to make sure that was an option as if you cant leave it blank, but sounds like it is. Chris is already part of the Worker Presence subgroup.
