Merge impl/validate: Phase 5 validation module

Phase 5 of IMPL1 implementation plan - add validation module.

New module:
- Validate: Message validation functions per BOLT #7 spec

Validation functions:
- validateChannelAnnouncement: node_id_1 < node_id_2
- validateNodeAnnouncement: feature bit validation
- validateChannelUpdate: htlc amount constraints
- validateQueryChannelRange: block range overflow check
- validateReplyChannelRange: SCID ordering

All 49 tests pass.
