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.

# Undef
- `Undef()`
Validates if the given input is undefined. By _undefined_ we consider `null` or an empty string (`''`).
We recommend you to check [Comparing empty values](../comparing-empty-values.md) for more details.
```php
v::undef()->assert('');
// Validation passes successfully
v::undef()->assert(null);
// Validation passes successfully
```
Other values similar to _undefined_ values are considered _defined_:
```php
v::undef()->assert([]);
// → `[]` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert(' ');
// → " " must be undefined
v::undef()->assert(0);
// → 0 must be undefined
v::undef()->assert('0');
// → "0" must be undefined
v::undef()->assert('0.0');
// → "0.0" must be undefined
v::undef()->assert(false);
// → `false` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert(['']);
// → `[""]` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert([' ']);
// → `[" "]` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert([0]);
// → `[0]` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert(['0']);
// → `["0"]` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert([false]);
// → `[false]` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert([[''], [0]]);
// → `[[""], [0]]` must be undefined
v::undef()->assert(new stdClass());
// → `stdClass {}` must be undefined
```
