Alexandre Gomes Gaigalas bd48bdcda4 Lint Changelog format in validator docs
Introduces a Markdown linter for checking the Changelog format.

"See Also" was transformed into a section to make it easier to
handle it with the `Content` class. The "Related" linter was
simplified to reflect that change too.

An additional "alignment" parameter was added to markdown table
generators, allowing the padding and headers to be explicitly
marked with a specific left (-1), middle (0) or right(1)
alignment.

Existing files were fixed using the `fix` option after the
changes.

# Attributes
- `Attributes()`
Validates the PHP attributes defined in the properties of the input.
Example of object:
```php
use Respect\Validation\Validators as Validator;
#[Validator\AnyOf(
new Validator\Property('email', new Validator\Not(new Validator\Undef())),
new Validator\Property('phone', new Validator\Not(new Validator\Undef())),
)]
final class Person
{
public function __construct(
#[Validator\Not(new Validator\Undef())]
public string $name,
#[Validator\Date('Y-m-d')]
public string $birthdate,
#[Validator\Email]
public ?string $email = null,
#[Validator\Phone]
public ?string $phone = null,
) {
}
}
```
Here is how you can validate the attributes of the object:
```php
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('John Doe', '2020-06-23', 'john.doe@gmail.com'));
// Validation passes successfully
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('John Doe', '2020-06-23', 'john.doe@gmail.com', '+12024561111'));
// Validation passes successfully
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('', '2020-06-23', 'john.doe@gmail.com', '+12024561111'));
// → `.name` must be defined
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('John Doe', 'not a date', 'john.doe@gmail.com', '+12024561111'));
// → `.birthdate` must be a valid date in the format "2005-12-30"
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('John Doe', '2020-06-23', 'not an email', '+12024561111'));
// → `.email` must be a valid email address or must be null
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('John Doe', '2020-06-23', 'john.doe@gmail.com', 'not a phone number'));
// → `.phone` must be a valid telephone number or must be null
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('John Doe', '2020-06-23'));
// → - `Person { +$name="John Doe" +$birthdate="2020-06-23" +$email=null +$phone=null }` must pass at least one of the rules
// → - `.email` must be defined
// → - `.phone` must be defined
v::attributes()->assert(new Person('', 'not a date', 'not an email', 'not a phone number'));
// → - `Person { +$name="" +$birthdate="not a date" +$email="not an email" +$phone="not a phone number" }` must pass the rules
// → - `.name` must be defined
// → - `.birthdate` must be a valid date in the format "2005-12-30"
// → - `.email` must be a valid email address or must be null
// → - `.phone` must be a valid telephone number or must be null
```
## Caveats
- If the object has no attributes, the validation will always pass.
- When the property is nullable, this validator will wrap the validator on the property into [NullOr](NullOr.md) validator.
- This validator has no templates because it uses the templates of the validators that are applied to the properties.
