Option to manually provide type for requests

[manuel-watchenterprise]

It might not be a big work to check for @request tag as it is already implemented for @response and provide option for devs to manually define the request object type. I understand this is not the most common case to use, however, there are some exceptional situations when it comes handy.

• the request rules are complex / computed (e.g. with ->sometimes() calls, or having ifs inside the ->rules() method)
• the request body is dynamic (expected output is an empty object with additionalProperties)

Something like

/**
 * @request array{foo: string|null, bar: int}
 *
 * @request MyManualRequestClassJustForDocs
 *
 * @request array<string, mixed>  <---- dynamic
 */

Current output of array<string, mixed> is

{
  "type": "object",
  "additionalProperties": {
    "type": "string"
  }
}

IMHO it would be better to omit type in case of mixed, so the object accepts any type of values.

{
  "type": "object",
  "additionalProperties": {}
}

I've created a dedicated discussion on this, as this is a standalone feature request.
