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.

# When
- `When(Validator $when, Validator $then)`
- `When(Validator $when, Validator $then, Validator $else)`
A ternary validator that accepts three parameters.
When the `$if` validates, returns validation for `$then`.
When the `$if` doesn't validate, returns validation for `$else`, if defined.
```php
v::when(v::intVal(), v::positive(), v::notBlank())->assert(1);
// Validation passes successfully
v::when(v::intVal(), v::positive(), v::notBlank())->assert('non-blank string');
// Validation passes successfully
v::when(v::intVal(), v::positive(), v::notBlank())->assert(-1);
// → -1 must be a positive number
v::when(v::intVal(), v::positive(), v::notBlank())->assert('');
// → "" must not be blank
```
In the sample above, if `$input` is an integer, then it must be positive.
If `$input` is not an integer, then it must not be blank.
When `$else` is not defined use [AlwaysInvalid](AlwaysInvalid.md)
