Refactoring of the JSON Schema code to enhance clarity and maintainability. (#450)

This update focuses on several key areas within the JSON Schema processing code:

1.  **Improved Readability in `JsonSchema.kt`**:
    *   I've broken down the `resolveDefinition` method into smaller, private helper functions (`resolveLocalDefinition`, `findDefinitionInMaps`, `findPropertyRecursive`). This makes the code easier to follow and understand.
    *   The `allDefinitions` property now uses a more concise functional expression: `definitions + (defs ?: emptyMap())`.

2.  **Enhanced Clarity in `JsonObjectDef.kt` and `PropertyDef.kt`**:
    *   I've added comprehensive KDoc comments to public and protected classes, methods, and properties in `JsonSchema.kt`, `JsonObjectDef.kt`, and `PropertyDef.kt`. These comments explain parameters, return values, and the purpose of each component.
    *   I've clarified the expected types for the `type` property in `JsonObjectDef.kt` (String or List of Strings) with a comment, while keeping its declared type as `Any?` for Gson compatibility.

3.  **Addressed TODOs and Code Style**:
    *   I moved the `JSON_SCHEMA_FORMAT_MAPPINGS` map from its own file into `ConfigManager.kt`, as suggested by an existing TODO comment.
    *   I've updated all usages of `JSON_SCHEMA_FORMAT_MAPPINGS` to reflect its new location in `ConfigManager`.
    *   The now-empty `JSON_SCHEMA_FORMAT_MAPPINGS.kt` file has been removed.
    *   I've ensured consistent code style and formatting across all modified files.

All existing unit tests pass, confirming that these changes have not introduced any regressions.
