Swagger-editor: Using items without type: array still validated ok

My yaml validated ok, but then I could not generate any client/server artifacts. Had to manually find the error. My error was using items in some places where schema should have been used.

Copied from original issue: swagger-api/swagger-editor#681

A JSON Schema like this: {"type": "array"} is describing an array with any element. It is valid JSON Schema. This is a problem in swagger-codegen where it doesn't like arrays without items schema.

@mohsen1 according to the spec, if type is array, then items must be provided.

items   Items Object    Required if type is "array". Describes the type of items in the array.

Then the swagger json schema should catch it. @webron

Well, there's OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#404 and OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#413.

I believe we fall back to string in the codegen if the inner type is not specified.
