CWL export validation not as strict as cwltool's #51

Description

It was recently found that CWL abstract workflows generated with gxformat2 fail to validate with cwltool --validate (see ResearchObject/ro-crate-py#33 for some background). However, test_export_abstract.py succeeds, despite using cwltool.main.resolve_and_validate_document. The reason is that cwltool --validate does not stop after calling resolve_and_validate_document. In particular, it calls make_tool, which tries to build a Workflow object and triggers this validation error.

To make the validation in the test as strict as cwltool --validate, the following change could be applied:

diff --git a/tests/test_export_abstract.py b/tests/test_export_abstract.py
