Motivation
The go version proto2 will encode the zero value for basic types, while rust version wouldn't do this.
By the proto definition, only proto3 has explicitly define this behavior, so both process for proto2 is reasonable.
However, in some cases, the data obtained by the serialization method used in pilota cannot be correctly parsed by other upstream or downstream deserialization methods.
Solution
So we plan to provide a feature switch to support enabling serialization of zero values.
