[Schema][HostConfig] Host Config schema needs to be updated to reflect 1.3 changes

[RebeccaAnne]

Details

Although the Adaptive Cards schema has been updated to reflect the new Input Validation changes, the HostConfig schema has not. We need to add the inputs functionality to the schema (host-config.json) and also update the corresponding docs page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/adaptive-cards/rendering-cards/host-config).

• Update schema ([HostConfig Schema] Update Host Config schema to reflect changes made for input validation #4581 and [Schema] Fix issues in host config input schema #4696)
• Update docs (Already done in Add Inputs config documentation to the HostConfig page  MicrosoftDocs/AdaptiveCards#322, see details in comment below)

Hi @RebeccaAnne. We have acknowledged this issue report. Please continue to follow this issue for updates/progress/questions.

For the documentation, it looks like the documentation was updated manually in MicrosoftDocs/AdaptiveCards#322. We have a tool to generate those docs, but that tool only generates the first layer of the schema, not sublayers. In this case, the manual documentation documents all relevant objects (InputsConfig, LabelConfig, InputLabelConfig, and ErrorMessageConfig), whereas the generated schema only would document the top layer (InputsConfig). Because of this, I am not going to update the docs using the tool. Logged #4698 to track improving the tool to be able to generate those docs for us.
