Description

area-perf needs-design providers-beware

Currently ModelValidator has protected method for each area to validate. These could be instead separate services that can be resolved from D.I. and composed. This could make it easier for non-providers to add custom validation in the same way they can add custom conventions.

Note however that order is important--if we make this change, the current order in which validations happen should not be changed.

Update: the main value here is allowing plugins to do model validation. For example, see change-detecting proxies. See comments below.
