Add a data type validation functionality #42

The services.json has a 'dataType' property for each path. This could be used to validate the data that is sent as an input to the control (output) nodes.

An error is actually alrady printed in dbus-listener if the dbus data type differs from the one being sent. The only issue I see here is that the user can write values to enums outside the defined range. In my opinion, this should be handled on the dbus side, though.
