Description
It would be great if there was a way to validate a tickScript source file to make sure it is syntactically correct before posting it to the kapacitor server. This way users can handle any syntax errors locally before executing the `define` command
Something like
```
Kapacitor validate_syntax cpuAlert.tick
```

Research direction
Start by locating the Kapacitor CLI program and the existing `define` command, then trace how TICKscript is parsed when sent to the server. Add a local validation command for a `.tick` source file, and verify that syntax errors are reported before execution or posting.
