feat: preserve unknown fields from the REST API representation in SchemaField (googleapis#2097)

* feat: preserve unknown fields from the REST API representaton in `SchemaField`

* 🦉 Updates from OwlBot post-processor

See https://github.com/googleapis/repo-automation-bots/blob/main/packages/owl-bot/README.md

* remove unnecessary variable

* remove unused private method

* fix pytype
