Similar to my previous patch (#71613) where I changed
`GetItemAtIndexAsString`, this patch makes the same change to
`GetItemAtIndexAsDictionary`.
`GetItemAtIndexAsDictionary` now returns a std::optional that is either
`std::nullopt` or is a valid pointer. Therefore, if the optional is
populated, we consider the pointer to always be valid (i.e. no need to
check pointer validity).
