The `{{name}}` placeholder could represent different things depending on
the state of the Result, and referring to it as `{{name}}` seems
arbitrary. This commit changes it to `{{subject}}`, which is much more
generic and it describes well what that placeholder can mean.
There's no reason not to make this method public. It will actually be
easier for users to test their rules when they extend this class if this
method is public.
With this change, any rule can be used as a PHP attribute. I have wanted
to implement this feature for a while, as it allows you to bind the
validation to a specific property and just validate the object
afterwards.
I'm not a native English speaker, and the same goes for many
contributors from this library. Because of that, some messages just
don't sound very good, so I updated a lot of them.
After many refactorings, no rules use the previous validation engine.
That means we can remove the unused code from the repository and switch
from the previous to the new validation engine everywhere.
This commit will also soft deprecate the methods "validate()", and
"check()" in all the rules and the "assert()" in all rules but the
Validator itself. That means using those methods will still be allowed,
but static analysis tools might complain.
This is a big step toward releasing the next major version, as the code
is pretty much the way it should be when I release the next version.
There's some documentation to be updated, and I would like to change the
behavior of a couple of rules.

That helps organize the code better, making it easier to spot the core
rule. It also helps not allow the Factory to load those rules, as the
new namespace is not registered in it.
Note that the "AbstractAge", "AbstractRelated", and "AbstractRule" were
not moved. I want to do that only when I refactor them.
After I moved classes, I realized that "Comparison" and "FilteredString"
had no tests. I created the tests, and while I did that, I spotted two
bugs:
* The "Equals" rule was failing when comparing non-scalar wth scalar
values;
* The "Equals" and "Identical" rules were not working correctly because
"Comparison" was converting their values.
I fixed those bugs in this commit.

By "simple," I mean rules that have nothing in their constructor or that
have simple templates. This change introduces two classes that will be
the foundation for migrating all the rules to the newest validation
engine:
* Standard: this abstract rule contains only the accessors to define and
retrieve names and templates, which means that the classes that extend
it must implement the "evaluate()" method.
* Simple: this abstract rule contains the "evaluate()" method, which
relies on the "validate()" method, which means that the classes that
extend it must implement that method.
I expect many changes to the Simple abstract rule once all the rules get
migrated to the newest validation engine. I've chosen to keep relying on
the "validate()" method because it will make it easier to migrate
everything.
The "Standard" abstract rule uses a trait that triggers an
"E_USER_DEPRECATED" error in every method from the old validation
engine. That aims to support the migration because I can see clearly if
any places still use the methods I would like to delete once I migrate
everything.

Creating a specific exception for each rule adds a painful overhead. If
you want to make a custom message for your rule, you will need to create
an exception and then register that exception namespace to be able to
use it—all that is just for customizing the message of your rule.
Having different namespaces also implies that you need to fetch the
exception of the rule from another directory to change it. As Uncle Bob
said, "Classes that change together belong together. Classes that are
not reused together should not be grouped."
This commit will drastically change this library, moving all the
templates from the exceptions to the rules. Consequently, the Factory
becomes much simpler, and the library gets a bit smaller, too.

This change will bring many breaking changes. The good thing is that we
can finally use more modern resources available in PHP.
I can imagine that's not a popular change since it will bring many
breaking changes to users, but we shouldn't be stuck in time because of
that. Using some of those features will make it easier to contribute to
the project. At least, I hope so.
There are still some useless doc-blocks, and we're not using "readonly"
properties when we could. I aim to send those changes soon.

According to the official documentation [1] the correct way of writing
the "inheritDoc" tag is with the uppercase "D".
