derive(FromPyObject): adds default option

@@ -488,6 +488,48 @@ If the input is neither a string nor an integer, the error message will be:
     - apply a custom function to convert the field from Python the desired Rust type.
     - the argument must be the name of the function as a string.
     - the function signature must be `fn(&Bound<PyAny>) -> PyResult<T>` where `T` is the Rust type of the argument.
+- `pyo3(default)`, `pyo3(default = ...)`
+  - if the argument is set, uses the given default value.
+  - in this case, the argument must be a Rust expression returning a value of the desired Rust type.
+  - if the argument is not set, [`Default::default`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/default/trait.Default.html#tymethod.default) is used.
+  - note that the default value is only used if the field is not set.
+    If the field is set and the conversion function from Python to Rust fails, an exception is raised and the default value is not used.
+  - this attribute is only supported on named fields.

+For example, the code below applies the given conversion function on the `"value"` dict item to compute its length or fall back to the type default value (0):

+```rust
