Rename namespace Rules to Validators
Since that namespace contains our “validators”, naming it as such makes
much more sense.

# Key
- `Key(int|string $key, Validator $validator)`
Validates the value of an array against a given validator.
```php
v::key('name', v::stringType())->isValid(['name' => 'The Respect Panda']); // true
v::key('email', v::email())->isValid(['email' => 'therespectpanda@gmail.com']); // true
v::key('age', v::intVal())->isValid([]); // false
```
You can also use `Key` to validate nested arrays:
```php
v::key(
'payment_details',
v::key('credit_card', v::creditCard())
)->isValid([
'payment_details' => [
'credit_card' => '5376 7473 9720 8720',
],
]); // true
```
The name of this validator is automatically set to the key name.
```php
v::key('email', v::email())->assert([]);
// message: email must be present
v::key('email', v::email())->assert(['email' => 'not email']);
// message: email must be valid email
```
## Note
- To validate if a key exists, use [KeyExists](KeyExists.md) instead.
- To validate an array against a given validator if the key exists, use [KeyOptional](KeyOptional.md) instead.
