Implement and Enhance Actor Configuration Support

This commit introduces multiple improvements and fixes for actor
configuration management in LEAPP, including configuration schema
support, API updates, validation improvements, and compatibility fixes.

- **Actor Configuration:**
  - Add actor configuration support
  - Introduce configuration schema attributes for LEAPP actors.
  - Create an API to load and validate actor configs against the schemas
    stored in actors.
  - Provide a function to retrieve actor-specified configurations.
  - Enable config directories at both repository-wide and actor-wide
    levels.
  - Add configs to `leappdb`.

- **Configuration Schema Support:**
  - Add `_is_config_sequence()` to validate sequences (lists, tuples) of
    configuration fields.
  - Add support for `StringMap` field types in `config_schemas`.

- **Testing and Linting:**
  - Separate linting and unittests for better CI control.

- **Dependency Management:**
  - Add `pyyaml` to requirements in `requirements.txt`, `setup.py`, and
    spec files.
