ENH: JsonSchemaExporter accepts do_not_create parameter.

Summary

• DataModel.get_deep(name: str)
• Refactoring of json schema exporter.
• New parameter for json schema exporter.

Look at the new test function, this should explain the meaning.

Please do not delete the source branch after merging, we will probably still need it.

Focus

Does the get_deep() function look reasonable?

Test Environment

Run the unit tests, especially pytest unittests/test_json_schema_exporter.py -k options
