Add type: "null" downcasting when in oneOf and anyOf for OpenAPI v3

Description

This PR adds downcasting of oneOf and anyOf for openapi v3.

When writing OpenAPI v3 it will remove schemas from oneOf and anyOf with { "type": "null" } and apply it to the parent as nullable: true. It also tries to find a common overlapping type which will also be applied to the parent schema as nullable: true is only doing something when type is specified.

It's between a bug-fix and a feature as the current situation downcasts { "type": "null" } to { "nullable": true } which according to some clarifications of the spec doesn't do anything and tools expect the nullable: true on the parent schema.

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

@baywet I've drafted this PR. Let me know what you think. Some parts are a little bit rough imho, for example the update to SerializeNullable, and SerializeTypeProperty.

Edit: I just went ahead and implemented it. I know that I take a risk that this won't be merged or requires significant changes, then I will just see it as an exercise 🙃

Thanks for the contribution!

@baywet I've addressed your comments (with copilot so I could go to the movie Zootopia 2 in the meantime 😎, AI let's programming really happen from your phone 😜).

Let me know if I need to change something.
