Updates to swagger table generation

A bunch of related fixes to the code for parsing the state and API yaml files:

1. Some of our objects are {key: {key: value}} - style nested key/value
   dictionaries. Handle this by refactoring get_json_schema_object_fields so
   that such objects are handled wherever they appear, rather than when they
   are just subproperties of a 'proper' object.

2. Fix multi-level inheritance (so an object can have an 'allOf' property which
   can successfully refer to an object which itself has an 'allOf' property).

3. $ref fields in event schemas weren't being expanded correctly

4. sort type tables breadth-first rather than depth-first so that the ordering
   in complex structures like the /sync response makes a bit more sense.
