Template Data Validation

Support template data options by adding property attribute with an array of prompt and value. Additionally add a muliple property, which indicates multiple values are suppored if set "true".

1. Add an optional property to the data object: option (array of and object. prompt/value pair)
2. Add an optional property to the data object: multiple (boolean). This property has no impact if option property is not set.

{ "collection" :
  {
    "version" : "1.0",
    "href" : "http://example.org/users",

    "template" : {
      "data" : [
        { "name" : "username", "value" : "", "prompt" : "User name", "required" : "true" },
        { "name" : "country", "value" : "", "prompt" : "Country", "multiple" : "false"  "options" : [ { "prompt" : "Germany", "value" : "de" }, { "prompt" : "Poland", "value" : "pl" } ] },
