use Pydantic to validate CLI for project setup

[zevaverbach]

I gather this isn't currently happening? I mistakenly entered a Sentry key instead of a URL but this wasn't enforced until docker-compose up -d failed because I put in the wrong data.

Ø docker-compose logs backend
WARNING: Some services (backend, db, flower, frontend, pgadmin, proxy) use the 'deploy' key, which will be ignored. Compose does not support 'deploy' configuration - use `docker stack deploy` to deploy to a swarm.

So, as far as I understand, the idea is to add validation to project setup script.

Currently project uses Copier.
I investigated a little and didn't find simple way to implement this with Copier

Also from the simple validation logic, this wouldn't be done easily with pydantic core features. A key and a url is just a string and it would be necessary to write dedicated @validator logic.

Is it worth to spend time on this?
