Alias variables block in the `Target` struct (#1748)

## Changes
This PR aliases and overrides the schema associated with the variables
block in `target` to allow for directly specifying a variable value in
the JSON schema (without an levels of nesting). This is needed because
this direct value is resolved by dynamically parsing the configuration
tree.
