[core] Add x-is-free-form vendor extension

This adds an x-is-free-form vendor extension to allow users to skip our
"free-form" logic which would previously prevent object schemas with no
properties to be considered "free-form". The previous behavior was due
in part to Swagger Parser not exposing `additionalProperties: false` to
us (which should be similar behavior to this extension).

A free-form object is considered a dynamic object with any number of
properties/types. DefaultGenerator does not allow for generation of
models considered free-form. However, a base type with no properties and
no additional properties is allowed by OpenAPI Specification and is
meaningful in many languages (e.g. "marker interfaces" or abstract
closed types).
