Please describe your feature

We would like to have an option buildtest build --validate that will validate buildspecs given a set of buildspecs. This will basically implement the current implementation of buildtest build --stage=parse where buildtest will stop after parsing the YAML files. Since --stage will be removed eventually we would like to have --validate option in place.

The idea is this option should just validate all buildspec given a set if search criteria which can be all of the following options

buildtest bd -b <file> -t <tag> -e <EXECUTOR_NAME> -n <NAME> -x <file> --validate

Suggest potential solution
