Owner

As a Fediversity user,
I want Fediversity to expose applications' configuration options using schemas,
so that I may better control my deployments.

implementation notes

Upstream repos may note offer (JSON) schema.
May need better conversion from nix option modules (#626).
On the Nix side this may involve overriding relevant unstructured (settings) types with a schema-derived type (c.f. builtins.jsonSchemaValidate).

configuration schema availability by application:

mastodon: n/a, uses env vars (ticket)
pixelfed: env-var-like php config (ticket)
peertube: ticket
