[bugfix] poll vote count fixes (#2444)

* don't drop all vote counts if hideCounts is set, refactors poll option extraction slightly

* omit voters_count when not set

* make voters_count a ptr to ensure it is omit unless definitely needed

* handle case of expires_at, voters_count and option.votes_count being nilable

* faster isNil check

* remove omitempty tags since mastodon API marks things as nullable but still sets them in outgoing json
