[PATCH v1 01/10] kconfig-checker: Add schema for rule files

["Ahmed S. Darwish" <darwi@linutronix.de>]

The kconfig-checker YAML rule files describes which kernel .config symbols
are expected to be enabled or disabled. Introduce a schema for such files.

Describe and add rational for each element in the schema as well.

+        # If `docs_hint` is any other string, that string is used directly as
