What happened?

Using the dev branch, the PyNWB validator is not using cached extensions during validation. I think that is because we are using the validate(io=io) method instead of the validate(paths=paths) method.

This appears to have been changed recently to support validation with Zarr.

I will look into solutions. We should add a test for this.
