Validate on ticket type and match all statuses

[Reinhard Wobst]

After user over longer time, I decided to publish an improvement of the TicketValidatorPlugin:

• Check for all statuses of the ticket (requested in ticket #4742)
• Check dependent on type of the ticket (requested in ticket #6067).

Details can be found in validator.txt in the source (ticketvalidator.zip). Here is some example:

[ticketvalidator]
new.required = purpose
*.required = address
done.*.required = weather, brightness
*.integer = age, lines_of_code
*.task.float = cost

This means:

• If the state is 'new', the field 'purpose' must be filled-in.
• 'address' is always required.
• If the state is 'done', 'weather' and 'brightness' are required, independent on the type (of course, "done.required = ..." would do the same here).
• 'age' and 'lines_of_code' must always be integers.
• Independent on the state, 'cost' must be a float if the ticket type is 'task'.

More data types can be implemented easily.
