schemas: Changes to sync OGC API - Common review

- The main change relates to the ability to describe meaning of enum values
  related to opengeospatial/ogcapi-coverages#173 (comment)
  using a combination of `anyOf` with `const` + `title` as described in
  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64233370/in-json-schema-how-to-define-an-enum-with-description-of-each-elements-in-the-e
- Changes also introduce a new `x-ogc-nilValues` keyword for identifying nil values
- Other changes are gramamr fixes and minor clarifications
- Changing indirect dependency to QUDT in general as opposed to QUDT units since QUDT can also used for
  semantic definitions (not only QUDT units)
- Clarified that JSON Schema keywords can also include additional keywords in section below
