// Flatten an analyzed spec and produce a self-contained spec bundle.
//
// There is a minimal and a full flattening mode.
//
// Minimally flattening a spec means:
//  - Expanding parameters, responses, path items, parameter items and header items (references to schemas are left
//    unscathed)
//  - Importing external (http, file) references so they become internal to the document
//  - Moving every JSON pointer to a $ref to a named definition (i.e. the reworked spec does not contain pointers
//    like "$ref": "#/definitions/myObject/allOfs/1")
//
// A minimally flattened spec thus guarantees the following properties:
//  - all $refs point to a local definition (i.e. '#/definitions/...')
//  - definitions are unique
//
// NOTE: arbitrary JSON pointers (other than $refs to top level definitions) are rewritten as definitions if they
// represent a complex schema or express commonality in the spec.
// Otherwise, they are simply expanded.
//
// Minimal flattening is necessary and sufficient for codegen rendering using go-swagger.
//
// Fully flattening a spec means:
//  - Moving every complex inline schema to be a definition with an auto-generated name in a depth-first fashion.
//
// By complex, we mean every JSON object with some properties.
// Arrays, when they do not define a tuple,
// or empty objects with or without additionalProperties, are not considered complex and remain inline.
//
// NOTE: rewritten schemas get a vendor extension x-go-gen-location so we know from which part of the spec definitions
// have been created.
//
// Available flattening options:
//  - Minimal: stops flattening after minimal $ref processing, leaving schema constructs untouched
//  - Expand: expand all $ref's in the document (inoperant if Minimal set to true)
//  - Verbose: croaks about name conflicts detected
//  - RemoveUnused: removes unused parameters, responses and definitions after expansion/flattening
//
// NOTE: expansion removes all $ref save circular $ref, which remain in place
//
// TODO: additional options
//  - ProgagateNameExtensions: ensure that created entries properly follow naming rules when their parent have set a
//    x-go-name extension
//  - LiftAllOfs:
//     - limit the flattening of allOf members when simple objects
//     - merge allOf with validation only
//     - merge allOf with extensions only
//     - ...
