Log Message:
Implemented 'NOT_GIVEN' -> 'AttributeError' semantics for default values.
'model.Field' and 'model.Reference' now both use the feature's
'defaultValue' for a "get" when no value is present, and if the value is
'NOT_GIVEN', an 'AttributeError' is raised, to simulate normal Python
behavior for a missing attribute.  If you want a default value for a field
or reference, you must now explicitly supply it.  In particular, note that
References used to supply 'None' as a default value, and now you must
specifically request that behavior by adding 'defaultValue = None' to the
feature specification.
