Subject: [PATCH] Validate pipeline file using `sem validate FILE`

When you're authoring files locally it's a pain pushing changes to
double-check the YAML syntax is corrected, that you've nested the blocks
correctly and that you've put your `run:` clause at the right level.
Make it easy to validate the syntax of the file from local machines.
