iBL schema tweak

On Thursday 16/06/16, the BBC iBL team released iBL v1.00 r388. This contained an error in the JSON schema, which indicates this file is hand-generated, and not validated against the JSON-schema schema.

The items and minItems / maxItems entries should be within the programme element.

This was reported to the iBL team on Friday the 17/06/16 and was fixed in release 389 on Monday the 20th.

parseIblApi now validates both the JSON schema, and the resultant Swagger 2.0 spec to guard against similar errors in the future.

A small error in the description and start/end dates of the radio_10 linear service in the Nitro feed was also reported, but is still outstanding.
