[meta] Work together with Webform Validation module

I recently became the D7 maintainer for the Webform Validation module and I just learned about the Field validation module. They are very similar: one does fields, one does Webforms, but the validation logic is the same, so perhaps we should be sharing that code.

It could be done like this: Make a new module "Form Validation" which contains the validation code. Sub-modules Form Validation Webform and Form Validation Field would connect the validation code to Webforms and fields, respectively. This is much like how Clientside Validation has a core module and separate modules to make it work with Webform, FAPI, Fields, etc.

Are you interested in discussing how this could work?

Just getting to migrate a bunch webforms from D7 to D10, and the lack of webform component validation in D10 is rather unfortunate. Looks like the excellent idea of having validation rules apply everywhere died 5 years ago.

Webform Validation module exists but only has a few constraint validators, where the D7 webform validation had things like stop words, etc. I'm guessing the only way to have the Field Validation options for Webform is to create custom validators as per https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/webform/webform-cookbook/how-to-ad... → or via the steps in the Webform Validation README.

I don't see a place to even contribute these in case others are interested.
