`validate` overloads

== Synopses

Declared in `<baljsn_encodeimplutil.h>`

Determine if the specified `value` having the specified `bdlat` `category` satisfies the requirements for encoding using this component. If the `value` meets the encoding requirements, return 0, otherwise load an unspecified, human‐readable description of the requirements that are not satisfied by the `value` and return a non‐zero value. For values satisfying the `bdlat` `Choice` type‐category concept, the value of the `selectionId` attribute must not be undefined. For values satisfying the requirements of other `bdlat` type‐category concepts, there are no further requirements for encoding using this component. See the package‐level documentation of `bdlat` for an introduction to the requirements of `bdlat` type‐category concepts.
