Improve JSON schema validation for all index files + add searchRanking field

## Schema Improvements
- Add new 'searchRanking' field (0-1000) for search result prioritization
- Updated schema in both template locations to stay in sync
- Verified all existing fields are properly defined

## Validation Improvements
- Validate ALL index*.json files including locale variants (10 files total)
- Enhanced validation script to test main + 9 locale files
- Improved error reporting with per-file validation results
- Better file exclusion logic for orphan detection

## Test Coverage
- ✅ All 10 index files pass schema validation
- ✅ searchRanking field accepts values 0-1000
- ✅ Locale files maintain compatibility
- ✅ No breaking changes to existing templates

The CI now properly validates the complete set of index files rather than just the main English version.

+This validates:
+- ✅ **All index*.json files** - Main + 9 locale variants 
+- ✅ JSON schema compliance for all fields
 - ✅ File consistency (all referenced files exist)
 - ✅ No duplicate template names
 - ✅ Required thumbnails present
-- ✅ Valid JSON syntax

+- **Type**: Number (0-1000)
+- **Purpose**: Prioritize templates in search results
+- **Higher values** = better ranking/more prominent placement
+- **Usage**: Add to high-quality, popular, or featured templates
