Self schema (pydantic#131)

* generating self schema, fix pydantic#127 * allow generating self schema with older python * schema generating * remove pydantic dependency from generating schema * removing unused schema recursion checks * use build.rs, run not eval * fix to makefile * fixing schema generation * custom discriminator and fixing tests * forbid extra * fix build * fix build for 3.8 * trying to fix ci... * fix benchmarks * coverage * coverage
