Models for Future Structured Tool State Work

[jmchilton]

"Meta" models describing tool inputs. The downstream work already includes client side validation of tool request and near instant async tool form submission and background job creation based on these models (#17393). Future work will include JSON schema definitions for the internal tool state for the execution of a single job, tool request tool state JSON schema that describes map/reduce operations available in the API that transcend multiple jobs, cleaner and more robust CWL implementations.

This part is the models and test validation framework that verify implementations as well the exposure of these models via the Tool Shed 2.0 API - both as the pydantic meta model description and as the JSON schema for the future tool request API. Future ToolShed 2.0 APIs will include JSON schemas for workflow definitions and tool test cases.
