Problem with persistent schema and model inheritance
Thanks for this great package! I use it a lot for registering Faust Records in a schema registry. A problem that I noticed is that the Avro schemes are not correct when complex models are built which inherit from other models.

**Describe the bug**
When a model is subclassed from another model, the generated schema is persisted from the parent model. This can lead to some strange behavior:
 
**To Reproduce**
```python
@dataclasses.dataclass
class Common(AvroModel):
    some_data: str

@dataclasses.dataclass
class DerivedA(Common):
    some_more_data_A: str

@dataclasses.dataclass
class DerivedB(Common):
    some_more_data_B: str

print(Common.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "Common", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}], "doc": "Common(some_data: str)"}
print(DerivedA.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "Common", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}], "doc": "Common(some_data: str)"}
print(DerivedB.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "Common", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}], "doc": "Common(some_data: str)"}
```
It is different, if the schema for Common is not generated:
```python
#print(Common.avro_schema())
print(DerivedA.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "DerivedA", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}, {"name": "some_more_data_A", "type": "string"}], "doc": "DerivedA(some_data: str, some_more_data_A: str)"}
print(DerivedB.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "DerivedB", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}, {"name": "some_more_data_B", "type": "string"}], "doc": "DerivedB(some_data: str, some_more_data_B: str)"}
```
This is the result that is expected
**Expected behavior**
See above. I believe the problem occurs due to this line here in ``schema_generator.py``:
```python
    @classmethod
    def generate_schema(cls: Type[CT], schema_type: str = "avro") -> Optional[OrderedDict]:
        if cls.schema_def is None: # <-- schema is persisted
```
I don't know what would be the pythonic way to approach this. A simple quick fix when using this is simply to set the schema of the base class to None before generating the dependent schemes:
```python
print(Common.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "Common", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}], "doc": "Common(some_data: str)"}
Common.schema_def=None
print(DerivedA.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "DerivedA", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}, {"name": "some_more_data_A", "type": "string"}], "doc": "DerivedA(some_data: str, some_more_data_A: str)"}
Common.schema_def=None
print(DerivedB.avro_schema())
{"type": "record", "name": "DerivedB", "fields": [{"name": "some_data", "type": "string"}, {"name": "some_more_data_B", "type": "string"}], "doc": "DerivedB(some_data: str, some_more_data_B: str)"}
