[Scala] support default not-null value in COMPATIBLE mode.

Hi, great to see can solve it.
Glade to take a PR if possiable and I need sometime to familiar with the repository.

If the field doesn't exist in serialization process, but does exist in deserialization process, we can invoke method like SomeClass$.apply$default$2:()I to get default value for such field, and set it the object

You can configure FURY_CODE_DIR environment variable to set generated code dir, if you set it to src directory, then you can debug it in IDE when rerun the code

Hi @LoranceChen , thanks for bring this up. It's very necessary to support this in Apache Fury.

Scala didn't provide a method to construct object with default value at bytecode level. It generate bytecode to invoke constructor with all parameters provided, and default params are provided at callsite.

If we need to provide default value when creating object, we need to extract the default value. Fortunately, scala generate a
method like SomeClass$.apply$default$2:()I:

case class SomeClass(v: List[IdAnyVal], x:Int=1)

// Callsite bytecode
      34: getstatic     #131                // Field org/apache/fury/serializer/SomeClass$.MODULE$:Lorg/apache/fury/serializer/SomeClass$;
      37: invokevirtual #135                // Method org/apache/fury/serializer/SomeClass$.apply$default$2:()I
      40: invokespecial #138                // Method org/apache/fury/serializer/SomeClass."<init>":(Lscala/collection/immutable/List;I)V
      43: putstatic     #87                 // Field p:Lorg/apache/fury/serializer/SomeClass;
      46: getstatic     #143                // Field scala/Predef$.MODULE$:Lscala/Predef$;

We may can detect whether such method exists to know which parameter has default value, and provide it as default value when constructing object. This will take some horse work. We don't have time for this currently. Would you like to contribute to this? The record contructor in Fury org.apache.fury.builder.ObjectCodecBuilder#createRecord/org.apache.fury.serializer.ObjectSerializer#read can be taken as an example.

Hi, @chaokunyang , do you some advice to debug the codegen init process?
The generated code seems not easy to trace the logic where it is.

Thanks
