union types and nullables can create unnecessary class suffixes (and related problems) #1120

Describe the bug
In some valid specs, the use of anyOf, oneOf, nullable, and/or type as a list, can cause generated class names to have unnecessary suffixes (and, sometimes, for spurious extra copies of classes to appear). These problems seem to all ultimately come from the behavior of UnionProperty.

The problem cases are all included in the attached specs files. Looking at the code generated from these specs—

in both 3.0 & 3.1:

  • ExampleModel.nullableObjectWithOneOf correctly has the type Union[MyObject, None, Unset].
  • ExampleModel.inlineNullableObject generates a model class called ExampleModelInlineNullableObjectType0. It should be just ExampleModelInlineNullableObject, since there are no other named types for this property.
  • Similarly, the MyEnum schema, which is a nullable enum, generates the class MyEnumType1 even though there is no Type0.
  • The MyEnumWithExplicitType schema is the same as MyEnum except it specifically indicates type, and the result is a bit wilder: it generates enum classes MyEnumWithExplicitTypeType1, MyEnumWithExplicitType2Type1, and MyEnumWithExplicitType3Type1, all of which are exactly the same.

only applicable to 3.1:

  • ExampleModel.nullableObjectWithExplicitTypes, which is the same as nullable_object_with_one_of except that it also (unnecessarily, but validly) specifies type: ["object", "null"], also works correctly.
  • ExampleModel.one_of_enums_with_explicit_types, which combines a string enum with an int enum and specifies `type: ["string", "integer"], has the problem where three classes are created for each enum.
