Spyne's schema parser does handle simple type extensions but not simple
type unions.

I created a gist that shows the issue here:

https://gist.github.com/plq/c3537b4452841e28e7e7

(it's huge, so clone it rather than clicking on it)

This function is missing:
https://github.com/arskom/spyne/blob/8b1dfa20f6f36cd54b219c8d1a6789494f32e7dc/spyne/interface/xml_schema/parser.py#L303

Which means we need 1) a Union type (like the Array type) 2) from_string
and to_string functions for union types in ProtocolBase. 3) some simple
code that creates Spyne's Union type based on the information in the
xs:union tag there.

Preliminary exploration (egrep 'type="[^"]+"' *.xsd -o | cut -d: -f2- |
sort -u | grep -v xs: | wc -l) shows 739 types defined here. I did a
test with a service that uses 1000 types as input to 1000 separate
methods and RSS seems to be around 73 mb. That file is in the above gist
as thousand.py as well.
