Validate #required, #maxlength and #options in standard #element_validate handlers

_form_validate() does several things that could be separated into standard #element_validate handlers for greater modularity and greater flexibility for modules implementing new form element types.

The check for #required and #maxlength is done inline in _form_validate(), while e.g. #pattern is checked with a separate element_validate handler.

_form_validate() also checks that the submitted value is among the available options in the #options array. Not all elements utilizing an #options array is checked in the same way, so the function is hardcodes to give 'checkboxes' and 'tableselect' elements special treatment. Not very general, and not very friendly towards custom modules implementing new elements that use an #options array.

    Since there hasn't been movement on this in many years wonder if it's still a valid task?

    There has been no work on this task for 12 years. It is likely that it is no longer needed or has been implemented. And there has been no response to the query made about 2 years ago. Therefor, closing.

    If there is work to do here, then either re-open the issue and add a comment or open a new issue and reference this one.
