Autocomplete prediction type fields should be optional

[samruston]

Hi,

The autocomplete response type currently lists types & place_id as required properties:

google-maps-services-js/src/places/autocomplete.ts

Line 148 in e6cd0e7

types: AddressType[];

However according to the docs, these properties are optional:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/autocomplete#PlacesAutocompleteResponse

This caught us off guard recently as we had queries that would not return types, such as Rua ch 13. However I'm not sure under what circumstances a place_id would not be returned. However I believe the types should accurately reflect the response returned.
