The rule that paths or webhooks is required is not consistent with the specification

[darrelmiller]

I'm not sure where this rule came from. An OpenAPI document can exist without either field.

OpenAPI.NET/src/Microsoft.OpenApi/Reader/ParsingContext.cs

Line 282 in ed5c771

"", $"The document MUST contain either a Paths or Webhooks field at {RootNode.Context.GetLocation()}"));

I think I misinterpreted this section to mean that the document should at least have a paths or webhooks field now that paths is no longer a required field in 3.1:

Removing the validation rule.
