Generate integers for "number" schema? #80

At the moment the "number" type corresponds to st.float strategy, but as integers are valid for the "number" type in JSON Schema, I am wondering whether it will make sense to generate integers there as well.

I believe it may increase the output variation. What do you think?

I was thinking about your comment in the context of negating schemas and tried to canonicalise {"not": {"minimum": 42}} which gives {'not': {'minimum': 42, 'type': 'number'}, 'type': 'number'}. Even though it is a valid transformation, it seems too restrictive. For example, the end-user might expect that negating {"minimum": 42} will give e.g. 41, or some other integers, but there will be always floats. Having type: integer in place will solve this ({"not": {"minimum": 42}, "type": "integer"} works), but still sometimes it happens that it is missing.
