Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Generating C# code for valid open-api, with discriminators and allOf for polymorphic types, the code generated contains non-default ctor, which passes non-existed-parameters to the base ctor, which of course not compiles.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have option to:
- Option to not generate ctor at all.
- Option to generate record in new C# instead of class.
- Option to have POCO (no attributes, public get/set, properties, no methods, no ctors).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually remove all the ctors and attributes which are not required and not relevant.
Additional context
My open-api schema structure is hierarchy: C derives from B derives from A, etc. It uses allOf and discrimantor.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the C# generation case with an OpenAPI schema using allOf and discriminators, then inspect the C# generator's model and constructor handling. Clarify which of the requested options should be implemented and verify that the generated hierarchy compiles without invalid base-constructor arguments.
