Subject: [PATCH] Add one-of `match` example to README (#558)

Removed the parts of the example that showed accessing an unset value, as it now raises an `AttributeError`, and added an example of the `match` way of accessing the attributes.

Related to #510 and #358.

+On Python 3.10 and later, you can use a `match` statement to access the provided one-of field, which supports type-checking:
