[enhancement]: Relocate json schemas somewhere more sensible

[holmanb]

Enhancement

All of our jsonschemas are hidden down under cloudinit/config/schemas/, which doesn't make sense:

a) these files contain data not Python code b) some of these files are not specific to configuration modules c) the __init__.py was never required

These file should exist in a directory under the top directory, probably named something like schema (alternatively jsonschema or maybe something more generic like data).

Expected changes:

• code in cloudinit/, specifically schema.py
• test/unittest/
• setup.py
• possibly distro packaging too (presumably avoidable with setup.py finesse)

It would be better to deploy these files somewhere under cloud-init.io domain, instead of directly going to github...

Why?

@afbjorklund We publish them already to the jsonschema store, if you want a non-github location to pull from.

[afbjorklund]

The current location works OK with the tools, just thinking that normally you would download files from a web server?

The https://www.schemastore.org/json/ seems to be linking to the same address, but I just embedded a copy for now.

EDIT: apparently there was also a request for specific versions and not just main, so will change that as well.

I am using go (not python), and this tool for validation: https://github.com/santhosh-tekuri/jsonschema
