Create Model from loopback-workspace api /ModelDefinitions - Swagger Object not getting updated

[pktippa]

When we create a new model using the loopback-workspace(default :4800/explorer) api POST /ModelDefinitions and calling the loopback-component-explorer to update the newly created models, see below code

      var explorer = require('loopback-component-explorer');
      var restApiRoot = app.get('restApiRoot');
      var explorerApp = explorer.routes(app, { basePath: restApiRoot });
      app.use('/explorer', explorerApp);

the response for :3000/explorer/swagger.json does not have the newly created models, since the swaggerObject in the index.js does not getting updated and returning updated JSON.

This issue is a know limitation of the current explorer implementation, I am changing the labels to "enhancement". We need to prioritise this request against other stories in our backlog.

@pktippa perhaps you can take over #141? I am happy to help you along the way of getting it ready to be landed.
