Description

Description of feature

When rewritting the schema builder, we should also make it possible for it to handle any other json schema (for now at least the one for samplesheets).

Need then to update this line https://github.com/nf-core/tools/blob/e749f08610e324dc03fcbc5b211f6e8f7a9061a9/nf_core/pipeline-template/workflows/pipeline.nf#L87

Research direction

Start by locating the schema builder and reviewing the samplesheet JSON schema it must support. Then inspect nf_core/pipeline-template/workflows/pipeline.nf at line 87; the work is complete when the builder handles that schema and the template uses the updated behavior.
