What happened?

Since Beam 2.55 was released, the Cross-language transform for JsonWrite does not work on Beam YAML (or Beam Python when using ExternalTransform)

A change to https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/json/build.gradle removed a dependency on everit -
implementation library.java.everit_json_schema
PR: #29924

This also removed the library from being packaged into the beam-sdks-java-extensions-sql-expansion-service-2.55.0.jar, (sdks:java:extensions:schemaio-expansion-service:shadowJar)

So, when using xlang JsonWrite - https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/json/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/json/providers/JsonWriteTransformProvider.java
the expansion will fail complaining about java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.everit.json.schema.Schema$Builder
