Research direction
Start with the UnionProperty behavior and generate clients from the linked OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1 spec files. Compare the generated class names and duplicate models with the examples described in the issue. Done means nullable and union schemas no longer receive unnecessary suffixes or create identical extra classes.

Description
Describe the bug
In some valid specs, the use of anyOf, oneOf, nullable, and/or type as a list, can cause generated class names to have unnecessary suffixes (and, sometimes, for spurious extra copies of classes to appear). These problems seem to all ultimately come from the behavior of UnionProperty.
The problem cases are all included in the attached specs files. Looking at the code generated from these specs—
in both 3.0 & 3.1:
ExampleModel.nullableObjectWithOneOfcorrectly has the typeUnion[MyObject, None, Unset].ExampleModel.inlineNullableObjectgenerates a model class calledExampleModelInlineNullableObjectType0. It should be justExampleModelInlineNullableObject, since there are no other named types for this property.- Similarly, the
MyEnumschema, which is a nullable enum, generates the classMyEnumType1even though there is noType0. - The
MyEnumWithExplicitTypeschema is the same asMyEnumexcept it specifically indicatestype, and the result is a bit wilder: it generates enum classesMyEnumWithExplicitTypeType1,MyEnumWithExplicitType2Type1, andMyEnumWithExplicitType3Type1, all of which are exactly the same.
only applicable to 3.1:
ExampleModel.nullableObjectWithExplicitTypes, which is the same asnullable_object_with_one_ofexcept that it also (unnecessarily, but validly) specifiestype: ["object", "null"], also works correctly.ExampleModel.one_of_enums_with_explicit_types, which combines a string enum with an int enum and specifies `type: ["string", "integer"], has the problem where three classes are created for each enum.
