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.

# Equivalent
- `Equivalent(mixed $compareTo)`
Validates if the input is equivalent to some value.
```php
v::equivalent(1)->assert(true);
// Validation passes successfully
v::equivalent('Something')->assert('someThing');
// Validation passes successfully
v::equivalent(new ArrayObject([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))->assert(new ArrayObject([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
// Validation passes successfully
```
This validator is very similar to [Equals](Equals.md) but it does not make case-sensitive
comparisons.
Message template for this validator includes `{{compareTo}}`.
