Validate Variables in Dashboard YML files
Problem to solve
In #214513 (closed) we added support for variables in dashboard yml files. One concern we had was around validating those variables on the backend as an added security precaution. See #214513 (comment 332244504) for more context. We decided not to validate the variables in that first iteration.
For this issue, we would like to add in the backend validation of variables to make sure there was no manipulation of data and that only valid values are used.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
