Description

Suggested by @vjcitn

We could add some functions to help validation of disk data (e.g. to see if a Zarr store contains a valid SpatialData object, or if a particular element is a valid one). This would make it easier to work on interoperability.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying the repository for existing SpatialData and on-disk store validation APIs, then determine the intended API and CLI scope. Done should include agreed validation behavior for complete stores and individual elements, with tests covering the supported cases.
