Produce `&[T]` instead of `Option<&[T]>` for list fields (#2995)
## Motivation and Context
When the returned field is a list, there is _almost_ never a reason to
know if the returned value was null or `[]` — this addresses the 99%
case.
Before:
```rust
fn blah(&self) -> Option<&[T]> { self.blah.as_deref() }
```
After:
```rust
fn blah(&self) -> &[T] { self.blah.as_deref().unwrap_or_default() }
```
**note**: no impact on servers by default, see codegen diff.
## Description
Update accessors for lists.
## Testing
- [x] codegen diff audit (no server changes)
- [x] unit tests
