Fix: Correct handling of minItems and maxItems with identical values in array schemas

- Resolved issue where the generated interface was [] when minItems and maxItems were identical
- Now generates a tuple type for such cases
- Added test case for OpenAPI specification with minItems and maxItems set to 2
