Exception thrown when using generics

See original GitHub issue

An exception is thrown when using newer versions of NJsonSchema and NSwag with any simple generics such as class A<T> { }.

I’m still working on isolating this further, but my current test case is located at https://github.com/grovesNL/nswag-test

Running ConsoleApp2 (referencing older NJsonSchema and NSwag versions) will succeed.

Running ConsoleApp3 (referencing newer NJsonSchema and NSwag versions) will fail with System.ArgumentException: 'Invalid type owner for DynamicMethod.'.

I know generics are not fully supported yet (https://github.com/RSuter/NJsonSchema/issues/23 and https://github.com/RSuter/NSwag/issues/704), but for now I was using TypeScriptResolver to replace A`1 with A<T> and it worked well with older versions.

I’ll continue to look into it and use the older versions for now.

This one is “fixed” for now - at least it works as before.
