    Add oslopolicy-validator tool

    As requested in the referenced RFE bug, this is a validator tool
    similar to the oslo.config validator tool that operators can use to
    look for basic errors in their policy files.

    It's very similar to the redundant rule tool, but I decided not to
    combine them because I feel like the target use cases are enough
    different to warrant separate tools. Specifically, the redundant
    rule tool is looking for perfectly valid rules that just happen to
    be unnecessary. The validator is looking for errors in the policy
    file. While it's unlikely someone looking for redundant rules wouldn't
    also want to know if there is something broken in their policy file,
    it's likely that someone just looking to sanity check their policy
    before deployment wouldn't want to see a bunch of messages about
    redundant rules that won't cause any problems.
