Description
When generating a model, member variables that are arrays of dictionaries are not generated properly when the map is defined as a reference. The map will be missing the key / value types.

openapi-generator version
5.1.1 (latest stable release)
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
In the following definitions, inlineMap generates the correct output while refMap generates the wrong one.
definitions:
HashMap:
type: object
additionalProperties:
type: string
Test:
type: "object"
properties:
inlineMap:
type: array
items:
type: object
additionalProperties:
type: string
refMap:
type: array
items:
$ref: '#/definitions/HashMap'
Steps to reproduce
Just generate with the cpp-qt5-client generator

Research direction
Start by generating the cpp-qt5-client with the supplied OpenAPI definitions and compare the inlineMap and refMap output. Trace how referenced map schemas are resolved for array item types; done means the generated refMap includes the dictionary key and value types just as inlineMap does.
