Feature #15815: Add option to raise NoMethodError for OpenStruct

Currently, `OpenStruct#method_missing` returns `nil` even if the key isn't registered.

```ruby
require 'ostruct'
os = OpenStruct.new({a: 1})
os.a #=> 1
os.b #=> nil
```

I'd like to add `exception` option to raise `NoMethodError` in such case.

```ruby
require 'ostruct'
os = OpenStruct.new({a: 1}, exception: true)
os.a #=> 1
os.b #=> NoMethodError
```

## Use case

I sometimes use OpenStruct as a JSON API response wrapper.
It's useful to use method call instead of key access (`obj[:key]`) because we can use `Symbol#to_proc` if it's a method (for example `users.map(&:id)`)

But I want to prevent typo for a key name. Currently `users.map(&:idd)` just returns `[nil,...]`

Even if we have this `exception` option, we can't enable this option for JSON parser easily though:

```ruby
JSON.parse(response, object_class: Class.new(OpenStruct) { def initialize(hash); super(hash, exception: true); end })
```

What do you think?

I've searched with "openstruct nomethoderror" on bugs.ruby-lang.org though, please let me know if it's duplicated.
