fix schemaOrg warnings related to Articles during build

1. Change Summary

[Describe what is changing, why, and the impact]

  • I noticed during our production builds that I had the following warnings Unsupported schema type: undefined During our builds, I noticed this was happening in chunks with a ton of blog articles
    • I looked at a few examples of schemas in the blog and saw that blog posts had their own schemas. If you go to a blog article that implements a schemaOrg, you get the error in the console: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/1k-contributors/
  • The error is because the schema property is being sent as a string and not as an object - which is failing the schemaOrg type check
    • Ideally, we should move towards having this in plain YAML
    • I need to trim all of the spaces, remove trailing commas, to get JSON.parse() to work as expected
  • I also made sure to add a case for a schema of type article and added docs around that when using seo.schema
  • I turned off schemaOrg reactivity, which is what was causing the global schemaOrg error on every page locally. We don't need to dynamically update the schemaOrg with reactivity changes, so we should leave this off
