Schema definitions for nx.json and workspace.json

[julianess]

• I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Description

Currently it is not possible for the user to discover the possibilities of settings in nx.json and workspace.json directly inside the own project file neither it is validated while coding.

Motivation

Today there is no real documentation on what to be set in workspace.json and nx.json and what is optionally possible to be set. A schema (like it is present for angular.json inside pure angular projects) would help the developers to easily figure out which options can be set and how they should look like.

Suggested Implementation

A file which defines the schema in the same way it is defined for other types of .json config files (like angular did for angular.json) and adding them to the respective file via the "$schema" property inside.
