Subject: [PATCH] Enforce @Validation.Required annotation on PipelineOptions

- Add validation in ProxyInvocationHandler.getDefault() to throw IllegalStateException when required options are accessed without being set
- Add isRequired() helper method to check for @Validation.Required annotation
- Add test case for required option validation
- Update PortablePipelineOptionsTest to skip checking required option without value
