This adds a new 'server_default' field option to FieldOptions that allows
specifying PostgreSQL server-side default expressions like NOW() in proto
annotations. When set, the value is used as the DEFAULT clause in
CREATE/ALTER TABLE statements.
Example usage:
google.protobuf.Timestamp inserted_at = 9 [(pgdb.v1.options) = {
server_default: "NOW()"
}];
This generates: pb$inserted_at timestamptz DEFAULT NOW()
