[Feature] Provide the capability to use inline schemas for object types

[jamesmcroft]

Simple types are by default serialized inline in the Swagger JSON files output by the SchemaGenerator class.

After posting on StackOverflow to see if there was a configuration option available to enable object inline schemas, and reading through the documentation for Swashbuckle, I came up short.

A new config option in the generator options to UseInlineDefinitions would allow this small change to be a part of the wider Swashbuckle API layer than having to create a custom SchemaGenerator type to get around this.

This feature would enhance the capabilities of importing the generated Swagger JSON into Microsoft's Power Automate, for example, which has a limit on the number of reference types it will accept for a single connector.
