make pyhf JSON JSON-LD #1092

Description

JSON-LD is a generic data graph representation and used in the semantic web community. There are two concepts:

  1. a RDF graph that holds the basic information
  2. a context that defines entities such as channels, parameters, etc..
  3. a JSON-LD "frame" shaping the graph into a tree-like structure that is JSON

once we use a 'frame' to shape a generic data graph into a JSON-LD object we can validate that wiith standard JSON-schema (some prior art here: https://github.com/mulesoft-labs/json-ld-schema)

in a future world where likelihoods are semantic-web objects this might help with combinations, NP harmonization etc
