Define JSON structure for BIOS String type
BIOS: Define JSON structure for BIOS String type

Give a sample of JSON configuration file for BIOS string type.
Take one entry for example:
      {
         "attribute_name" : "str_example1",
         "string_type" : "ASCII",
         "minimum_string_length" : 1,
         "maximum_string_length" : 100,
         "default_string_length" : 3,
         "default_string" : "abc",
         "dbus":
            {
               "object_path" : "/xyz/abc/def",
               "interface" : "xyz.openbmc_project.str_example1.value",
               "property_name" : "Str_example1",
               "property_type" : "string"
            }
