Replace archived faker-optional with my alternative

[PerchunPak]

faker-optional was archived 9 months ago. I recently created an alternative to replace it.

Just from a general development perspective: Does it really make sense to create a completely new repository without the old commit history and publish a new package under a different name when the original repository explicitly states:

No longer maintained: I use pydantic-factories instead, if you want to maintain this repo, I can transfer it to you.

I wrote the author, and he didn't answer for ~3 days. I also didn't take anything from the original repo, and wrote everything from zero.

If you look at old implementation, and mine, you will see that they are completely different.

Thanks for the explanations - I did not have a closer look at the actual code and you were speaking of a fork as well.

Thank you!

I'm the author of the old code and I'm fine with the change. If I were quicker answering maybe I could have transferred the repo.

I take the chance to thank you all again for maintaining faker :)
