New schema — VA Form 26-1805

Summary

This PR adds a new JSON Schema for VA Form 26-1805 (Appraisal Report — Real Estate), targeting the draft-04 specification. The schema is structured as a single root object with additionalProperties: false and includes shared definitions for reuse across the form.

Key schema details include:

• fullName definition: Captures veteran or claimant name with first (max 30 chars), middle (single character, nullable), and last (max 40 chars) fields. All name fields are pattern-validated to allow only alphabetic characters and hyphens. first and last are required.
• address definition: Models a standard mailing address with a street field (max 100 chars), consistent with VA address patterns used across other form schemas in this repository.
• Definition references: Uses a buildDefinitionReference helper to generate $ref pointers, keeping field declarations DRY and consistent.
• Strict validation: All string fields include both maxLength constraints and regex pattern validation to enforce data integrity at the schema level.

Notes for reviewer

• Please ensure you have incremented the version in package.json
• Please add backend-review-group as a reviewer
• The middle name field uses type: ['string', 'null'] to allow explicit null values — confirm this aligns with the downstream vets-api serializer expectations.
• The address definition appears to be truncated in the artifact summary; please verify that all expected address subfields (e.g., city, state, postalCode) are present in the committed file.
• Confirm that buildDefinitionReference is scoped locally to this schema file and is not expected to be a shared utility exported elsewhere in the repo.
• VA Form 26-1805 is associated with real property appraisal workflows — ensure any appraiser-specific fields (e.g., license number, certification) are captured if required by the paper form.
