Add XSD support

[jonaslagoni]

Reason/Context

It would be great to have support for the XSD standard as supported inputs: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/schema_intro.asp

To support it we need to add a new input processor, which you can read about how to add here: https://github.com/asyncapi/modelina/blob/master/docs/contributing.md#adding-a-new-input-processor

The TLDR; is that we want to convert their structure into our Meta Models. Feel free to document the limitations of the implementation as needed in an input document: https://github.com/asyncapi/modelina/tree/master/docs/inputs.

You can use the following XSD examples both complex and split up document (or come up with your own):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

      <xs:element name="orderperson" type="xs:string"/>
