Description

@MarcelVersteeg

Describe the bug
In case of read-only properties in the command line options class, where a property is defined as

public string Foo
{
    get;
    init;
}

you will get a MissingMethodException when parsing the command line.

To Reproduce
See this fiddle https://dotnetfiddle.net/J05g0c

Expected behavior
The exception is not thrown

Additional context
The resulting stack trace is as follows:

Unhandled exception. System.MissingMethodException: Cannot dynamically create an instance of type 'Options'. Reason: No parameterless constructor defined.
