GH Actions/linting: lint XML files

The `phpcsstandards/xmllint-validate` action runner can validate XML files for both well-formedness, as well as validating the XML against an XSD schema.

This commit adds a new lint job to the `linting` workflow to take advantage of that to validate:
* Dev tool config files against their applicable XSD files.
* PHPCS rulesets used in the tests against the PHPCS XSD ruleset.
