Due to the way that rswag expands shared components we were getting this
warning when linting our api docs:
```
Component: "user_response" is never used.
```
This change refactors the `api/users_spec.rb` file so that it uses the
new way of doing things with a separate `user_get_response.json` schema
file rather then the old way of loading a shared response inside of the
swagger_helper.rb file.
One of the fields that should be present for openapi docs is the "license"
field.
https://spec.openapis.org/oas/latest.html#infoObject
Our API docs already had a license, so this commit just specifies that
and provides a link to it.
`nullable` is no longer a valid type, and types also can't be an empty
string, so just bringing a number of issues with types in compliance
with the openapi spec.
The latest openapi spec version is v3.1.0
https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0
Specifying the latest version will allow our openapi spec linter to use
this version and allow use to use the new type format that allows for
specifying a type as "null", which we need because sometimes our api
responses include null values instead of a "string", "integer", or
"object" type.

User flair was given by user's primary group. This PR separates the
two, adds a new field to the user model for flair group ID and users
can select their flair from user preferences now.
* DEV: Escape backslashes in curl example
We need to escape these backslashes otherwise they get filtered out when
generating the api docs.
* FIX: uniqItems should be uniqueItems
* DEV: Add schema checking to api doc testing
This commit improves upon rswag which lacks schema checking. rswag
really only checks that the https status matches, but this change adds
in the json-schema_builder gem which also has schema validation.
Now we can define schemas for each of our requests/responses in the
`spec/requests/api/schemas` directory which will make our documentation
specs a lot cleaner.
If we update a serializer by either adding or removing an attribute the
tests will now fail (this is a good thing!). Also if you change the type
of an attribute say from an array to a string the tests will now fail.
This will help significantly with keeping the docs in sync with actual
code changes! Now if you change how an endpoint will respond you will
have to update the docs too in order for the tests to pass. :D

* Swap out json schema validator gem
Swapped out the outdated json-schema_builder gem with the json_schemer
gem.
* Add validation fields to schema
In order to have "strict" validation we need to add
`additionalProperties: false` to the schema, and we need to specify
which attributes are required.
Updated the debugging test output to print out the error details if
there are any.
Added GET user by external_id to the api docs.
Fixed `/users/{username}` docs to be `/u/{username}`
Extracted out common user response into a shared helper.
