KAFKA-4183: centralize checking for optional and default values to avoid
bugs
Cleaner to just check once for optional & default value from the
`convertToConnect()` function.
It also helps address an issue with conversions for logical type schemas
that have default values and null as the included value. That test case is
_probably_ not an issue in practice, since when using the `JsonConverter` to
serialize a missing field with a default value, it will serialize the default
value for the field. But in the face of JSON data streaming in from a topic
being [generous on input, strict on
output](http://tedwise.com/2009/05/27/generous-on-input-strict-on-output) seems
best.
