Validate feature added

The validate command, adopted from the ProjectDiscovery's Nuclei project, is a crucial feature in the application's toolkit. It specializes in validating templates. When executed, it scans a specified folder for YAML files. Each YAML file is checked for validity. If a template is found to be invalid, it is promptly removed from the folder.

cent validate 
cent validate  --path <folder_path>

Example

Suppose you have a folder named templates with the following files:

• template1.yaml (valid)
• template2.yaml (invalid)
• template3.yaml (valid)

cent validate --path ./templates

After execution,template2.yaml(invalid) will be deleted.
