feat: add sidecar config validator (#690)

Pre-deploy validation for timmy-config sidecar configs.
Validates YAML/JSON configs against expected schemas.
Checks required keys, value types, nested structures.

Supported config types:
- Wizard configs (wizards/*/config.yaml): model, provider, fallback_providers
- Sidecar configs (wizards/*-sidecar.json): name, role, capabilities
- Main config (config.yaml): model, provider, toolsets
- Cron pipelines (cron/*.yml): name, schedule format
- Playbooks (playbooks/*.yaml): name, steps

Usage:
  python3 scripts/sidecar_validator.py --pre-deploy
  python3 scripts/sidecar_validator.py --all
  python3 scripts/sidecar_validator.py config.yaml

Closes #690
