Summary

For https://gitlab.indiscale.com/caosdb/customers/3dmmto/management/-/issues/9.

This implements

• pattern properties
• type null properties
• json schema references
• and json schemas without top-level recordtype specification

for the json schema datamodel parser.

Focus

Mainly additions to the JsonSchemaParser class. We also defined a treatment for type: array properties that lack a strict items specification (i.e., could be lists of elements with mixed types, so a manual specification has to be provided -- or they are ignored altogether).

Test Environment

New unit tests. You can also test it with the chemotion json schema in nextcloud/Customers/3dmmto/example_files/testdaten_chemotion/schema.json.
