Allow to keep default values in serialized JSON

[RojerUA]

We use Protobuf to define API endpoints and spotted surprising behavior - items with default values are absent in the serialized JSON. It is uncommon for PHP REST APIs to have parameters disappearing from response when returned value is default one. This PR solves this problem without braking default behavior.

I would like to hear your feedback on proposed solution. Thanks.

Could you send this PR to protobuf’s main repo?
