Title: Test and suggestion to fix issue 433

Hi,

When overriding models, complex properties are not expanded (not leading to $ref) when supplying the model json string and specifying "type" and "qualifiedType". I use this method because using the swagger api or scala collections from java can be quite awkward.

failing test before fix:
```
val converter = new OverrideConverter()
converter.add(classOf[Parent].getName(), """{"id":"Parent","properties":{"overriddenName":{"type":"string","qualifiedType":"java.lang.String"},"parentName":{"type":"string","qualifiedType":"java.lang.String"},"child":{"type":"Child","qualifiedType":"converter.models.Child"}}}""")
ModelConverters.addConverter(converter, true)
val a = ModelConverters.readAll(classOf[Parent])
println(JsonSerializer.asJson(a))
JsonSerializer.asJson(a) should be("""[{"id":"Parent","properties":{"overriddenName":{"type":"string"},"parentName":{"type":"string"},"child":{"$ref":"Child"}}},{"id":"Child","properties":{"childName":{"type":"string"}}}]""")
```

following test shows you can make it work when you use the api to construct the overridden Model:
```
val converter = new OverrideConverter()
val props = new LinkedHashMap[String, ModelProperty]
props += "overriddenName" -> ModelProperty(
"string",
"java.lang.String")

props += "parentName" -> ModelProperty(
"string",
"java.lang.String")

props += "child" -> ModelProperty(
"Child",
"converter.models.Child")

var model = Model("Parent",
"Parent",
classOf[Parent].getName(),
props)
converter.add(classOf[Parent].getName(), model);
ModelConverters.addConverter(converter, true)
val a = ModelConverters.readAll(classOf[Parent])
println(JsonSerializer.asJson(a))
JsonSerializer.asJson(a) should be("""[{"id":"Parent","properties":{"overriddenName":{"type":"string"},"parentName":{"type":"string"},"child":{"$ref":"Child"}}},{"id":"Child","properties":{"childName":{"type":"string"}}}]""")
```

This pointed me to the JsonSchemaModelPropertySerializer where the qualifiedType was skipped. Once the qualifiedType is parsed and added to the Model my test which supplies the json string works.
