Missing optional RelatedField leads to KeyError when accessing Serializer.data

[dtomas]

When accessing the .data property of a Serializer with an optional RelatedField, a KeyError is raised if the field is missing from serializer.validated_data, since the exception is not being caught in RelatedField.get_attribute.

In Field.get_attribute however, SkipField is raised in this case. Shouldn't this be done for optional related fields as well?
