Suhas Karanth 6d913fc343 fix(binding): Expose validator engine used by the default Validator (#1277)
* fix(binding): Expose validator engine used by the default Validator

- Add func ValidatorEngine for returning the underlying validator engine used
  in the default StructValidator implementation.
- Remove the function RegisterValidation from the StructValidator interface
  which made it immpossible to use a StructValidator implementation without the
  validator.v8 library.
- Update and rename test for registering validation
  Test{RegisterValidation => ValidatorEngine}.
- Update readme and example for registering custom validation.
- Add example for registering struct level validation.
- Add documentation for the following binding funcs/types:
  - Binding interface
  - StructValidator interface
  - Validator instance
  - Binding implementations
  - Default func

* fix(binding): Move validator engine getter inside interface

* docs: rm date cmd from custom validation demo

Struct level validations

Validations can also be registered at the struct level when field level validations don't make much sense. This can also be used to solve cross-field validation elegantly. Additionally, it can be combined with tag validations. Struct Level validations run after the structs tag validations.

Example requests

# Validation errors are generated for struct tags as well as at the struct level
$ curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8085/user \
	-H 'content-type: application/json' \
	-d '{}' | jq
{
  "error": "Key: 'User.Email' Error:Field validation for 'Email' failed on the 'required' tag\nKey: 'User.FirstName' Error:Field validation for 'FirstName' failed on the 'fnameorlname' tag\nKey: 'User.LastName' Error:Field validation for 'LastName' failed on the 'fnameorlname' tag",
  "message": "User validation failed!"
}

# Validation fails at the struct level because neither first name nor last name are present
$ curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8085/user \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
	-d '{"email": "george@vandaley.com"}' | jq
{
  "error": "Key: 'User.FirstName' Error:Field validation for 'FirstName' failed on the 'fnameorlname' tag\nKey: 'User.LastName' Error:Field validation for 'LastName' failed on the 'fnameorlname' tag",
  "message": "User validation failed!"
}

# No validation errors when either first name or last name is present
$ curl -X POST http://localhost:8085/user \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
	-d '{"fname": "George", "email": "george@vandaley.com"}'
{"message":"User validation successful."}

$ curl -X POST http://localhost:8085/user \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
	-d '{"lname": "Contanza", "email": "george@vandaley.com"}'
{"message":"User validation successful."}

$ curl -X POST http://localhost:8085/user \
