Traits for checking certain conditions of values: is empty? is default?

Also see: <https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/traits-for-is-empty-and-or-is-default/21114>

## Examples

For the `IsDefault` trait:

```rust
use isx::IsDefault;

fn test() {
    assert!(false.is_default());
    assert!(true.is_not_default());
}
```

For the `IsEmpty` trait:

```rust
use isx::IsEmpty;

fn test() {
    assert!(vec![].is_empty());
    assert!(None::<()>.is_empty());
}
```

## Why?

Because in same cases, it would be great to have a common pattern:

```rust

#[derive(Default, IsDefault, IsEmpty, serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct MySubData {
    // […]
}

#[derive(Default, serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct MyData {
    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "IsEmpty::is_empty")]
    list: Vec<String>,
    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "IsEmpty::is_empty")]
    map: HashMap<String, String>,
    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "IsEmpty::is_empty")]
    optional: Option<String>,

    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "IsDefault::is_default")]
    flag: bool,

    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "IsEmpty::is_empty")]
    sub_data: MySubData,
}
```

Having that in `std` or `core`, might actually convince people to go for this:

```rust
#[derive(Default, serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct MyData {
    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_empty)]
    list: Vec<String>,
    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_empty)]
    map: HashMap<String, String>,

    #[serde(default, skip_serializing_default)]
    flag: bool,
}
```
