Switch to jsonschema for definition validation

updates the workflow that produces test output so that the YAML file is checked against the schema first
uses JSON Schema's format instead of yamale's so we can

    use LSP with LSP-json to validate the schema
    and use LSP with LSP-yaml to validate YAML code

adds an option to validate the YAML file locally against the schema
