Command: lint the integration

[mtojek]

The command runs a basic validation of the package content, it doesn’t necessarily need to build the content. YAML manifests, JSON files, mandatory files, etc. It also verifies if dashboard file are properly encoded.

The command exposes a flag that fails when any file modification is required (for "check" purposes). It must be part of the implementation.

Suggested command: elastic-package lint

Hey @mtojek, I was going through these issues today and noticed we also have elastic-package check. What are the differences between elastic-package validate and elastic-package check?

same question here

I responded here: #10 (comment)

I understand where we are coming from, perhaps we could call this lint? I'm not against validate per se, but for me it's easy to confuse validate and check, as they could be doing the same thing.

With lint and check I clearly see what may be the difference.

Good point, I prefer the lint over validate. I will adjust also: #31
