Enabling Pipeline Resources to be marked as Optional

Pipeline inputs and outputs are considered required, there is no way
today to mark them optional. This change introduces a new field called
optional as part of the PipelineDeclaredResource similar to previous PR tektoncd#1601,
by default optional is set to false and a resource is required.
To mark any resource optional, set optional to true:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Pipeline
metadata:
 name: pipeline-build-image
spec:
 resources:
   - name: workspace
     type: git
     optional: true
 tasks:
   - name: check-workspace

Closes tektoncd#1710
