Validate json against schema from APEER

[bernhardfichtl]

Currently, it is hard to locally debug issues with the module specification since the json file is not validated against the APEER schema. Therefore, it can happen that the module builds locally, but the build fails on the platform.

@thomasirmer can you point me the module validation endpoint? /validation/modules return 405

This should be the one, right?

There are two ways we could solve this

1. We use the validation endpoint in module manager
2. We validate against the schema directly using any JSON lib (recommended). The link to it is as @bernhardfichtl described

I do recommend we do the latter since that enables us to render our own error messages inside the module debugger. Using the api would rely on it’s response and means a dependency.
