py: Implement JSON validation in nftables module

Using jsonschema it is possible to validate any JSON input to make sure
it formally conforms with libnftables JSON API requirements.

Implement a simple validator class for use within a new Nftables class
method 'json_validate' and ship a minimal schema definition along with
the package.
