Please add a license file

I am looking to package this with conda, which requires bundling the license information with the downstream conda package. If convenient, can you please add a license file that includes the standard MIT license text, and declares the copyright owner of this work? Thanks.

I am also happy to add this myself if you can confirm who actually is the copyright owner.

[Wish] Config option to return None instead of KeyError if key is missing

I'd like to request a new feature... the ability to control what happens when a key is not found. Currently it raises a KeyError, which is the same behaviour as a Dict. But since one of Diot's goals is to enable readable code, having to fall back on ".get()" for optional fields is not ideal. I'd like to ask if you can add an extra constructor parameter which controls this behaviour, for example:

my_dict = Diot(..., diot_keyerror=False)   <= defaults to True

Alternatively, this could be implemented more generally:

my_dict = Diot(..., diot_missing=KeyError)   <= default
my_dict = Diot(..., diot_missing=None)   <= return None
my_dict = Diot(..., diot_missing=MyFunction)   <= will call MyFunction(diot: Diot, key: Any)
