Capture less formal conventions in generated schema

[radishmouse]

It would be better if the schema generated by Pydantic could be used instead of the hand-written schema.json.

However, per this discussion, it doesn't capture the less formal conventions that are included in the hand-written one.

This ticket is for investigating how we could improve the generated schema.

---

For this ticket:

• convert to use the Field function
• copy descriptions from the existing schema.json
• add as description= kwargs for corresponding Field

for example:

from pydantic import Field
from pydantic.dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class DataclassWithDescription:
   a_field: int = Field(description="descr text")

@freaktechnik Do you recall some of the conventions missing from the generated schema?
