Read the contribution guidelines.
Ran the shell script under ./bin/ to update Petstore sample so that CIs can verify the change. (For instance, only need to run ./bin/{LANG}-petstore.sh and ./bin/security/{LANG}-petstore.sh if updating the {LANG} (e.g. php, ruby, python, etc) code generator or {LANG} client's mustache templates). Windows batch files can be found in .\bin\windows\.
Filed the PR against the correct branch: master, 3.1.x, 4.0.x. Default: master.
Copied the technical committee to review the pull request if your PR is targeting a particular programming language.

Description of the PR

Currently, all executions of openapi-generator produce a set of supportingFiles alongside the model/ and api/ files. If you have more than one openapi-generator spec target, these supportingFiles are completely identical, except for the namespace in which they are generated.

This PR allows users to specify supportingFilesDirectory and supportingFilesNamespace, the two parameters necessary to point the generated model/* and api/* files to an external set of supportingFiles.

This enables the end-user to create useful tooling around this common set of supportingFiles.

Left unset, the generated code is nearly equivalent to that in master.
