Add an XML schema for documentation
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.

Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.

<method name="parse">
<return type="JSONParseResult" />
<argument index="0" name="json" type="String" />
<description>
Parses a JSON-encoded string and returns a [JSONParseResult] containing the result.

<method name="print">
<return type="String" />
<argument index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />
<argument index="1" name="indent" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
<argument index="2" name="sort_keys" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Converts a [Variant] var to JSON text and returns the result. Useful for serializing data to store or send over the network.
[b]Note:[/b] The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a [i]number[/i] type. Therefore, converting a Variant to JSON text will convert all numerical values to [float] types.
The [code]indent[/code] parameter controls if and how something is indented, the string used for this parameter will be used where there should be an indent in the output, even spaces like [code]" "[/code] will work. [code]\t[/code] and [code]\n[/code] can also be used for a tab indent, or to make a newline for each indent respectively.
[b]Example output:[/b]
