/** Gets the type of a given `schema`. If the type is not explicitly defined, then an attempt is made to infer it from
 * other elements of the schema as follows:
 * - schema.const: Returns the `guessType()` of that value
 * - schema.enum: Returns `string`
 * - schema.properties: Returns `object`
 * - schema.additionalProperties: Returns `object`
 * - schema.patternProperties: Returns `object`
 * - type is an array with a length of 2 and one type is 'null': Returns the other type
 *
 * @param schema - The schema for which to get the type
 * @returns - The type of the schema
