Separate schema language and storage away from NWB format #383

HDMF schema language is now in https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf-schema-language/ But this is (slightly) different than the NWB schema language which uses keys such as neurodata_type instead of data_type.

Should I fork hdmf-dev/hdmf-schema-language into a new repo NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwb-schema-language, where the values in namespace_map.yaml and in a few other places are changed to be appropriate for NWB? That way, if hdmf-dev/hdmf-schema-language is updated, those upstream changes can still be merged into the nwb-schema-language fork.

I think that makes sense. Hopefully that will not add too much overhead down the line, but since changes to the language are not too common, I think this should not be big issue.
