Add Strict Metaschema Validation (#1101)

Improve schema validation.

This adds strict validation of config module definitions at testing
time, with plumbing included for future runtime validation. This
eliminates a class of bugs resulting from schemas that have definitions
that are incorrect, but get interpreted by jsonschema as
"additionalProperties" that are therefore ignored.

- Add strict meta-schema for jsonschema unit test validation
- Separate schema from module metadata structure
- Improve type annotations for various functions and data types

Cleanup:
- Remove unused jsonschema "required" elements 
- Eliminate manual memoization in schema.py:get_schema(),
        reference module.__doc__ directly
