This is such that if you mis-spell an attribute, it doesn't get
silently ignored.

This will add quotes around field names, as required by the official
standard. By default it will leave quotes out, as it is more readable,
more compact, and is accepted by almost all JSON parsers.
The -S switch to flatc turns on strict mode.
As per rfc 7159.

New attribute:
- `id: n` (on a table field): manually set the field identifier to `n`.
If you use this attribute, you must use it on ALL fields of this table,
and the numbers must be a contiguous range from 0 onwards.
Additionally, since a union type effectively adds two fields, its
id must be that of the second field (the first field is the type
field and not explicitly declared in the schema).
For example, if the last field before the union field had id 6,
the union field should have id 8, and the unions type field will
implicitly be 7.
IDs allow the fields to be placed in any order in the schema.
When a new field is added to the schema is must use the next available ID.
