References outside #/components/... fail to parse

[danielgtaylor]

As noted in apisprout#1 it looks like some references can fail to parse. For example:

{
  "$ref": "#/paths/~1v1~1servers/get/responses/200/content/application~1json/schema/properties/meta"
}

will fail to parse but is valid according to the spec. Rather than referencing a predefined component it is reusing a piece of another response schema. Ideally the parser would handle these cases regardless of what the link starts with.

I'm all for reviewing a PR fixing this but do not have time to write it :)

Is this still an issue now that #155 is merged?

Yes, it is. There are hardcoded prefixes required on different ref types.

I've added pull request #207 to fix this issue.
