Part of #1498. Stacked on #2643 (Structural Matcher) and #2645 (rules through the Form Validator); the diff shrinks to the last commit once those are merged.

What changed

Rule conditions evaluated without a validator (no validator configured and no Ajv instance, or a custom Form Validator without matches) used the Structural Matcher, which knows type, enum, const, required and additionalProperties only. Real rule conditions also use value constraints.

  • New isSchemaMatch(schema, data, rootSchema?): the Structural Matcher extended with minimum, maximum, exclusiveMinimum, exclusiveMaximum (draft-07 numbers and draft-04 booleans), multipleOf, minLength, maxLength (code points, like Ajv), pattern (unanchored, u flag, invalid patterns ignored), minItems, maxItems, uniqueItems, minProperties, maxProperties and not. format and $data are not evaluated. No validator instance, no code generation.
  • matchesConditionSchema uses isSchemaMatch for both validator-free paths.
  • isStructuralMatch is unchanged, so combinator tab selection keeps ignoring value keywords as it always did.

For adopters

Nothing changes for Ajv users or for Form Validators with matches. Adopters with a custom Form Validator and no matches now get rule conditions with numeric, string and array constraints evaluated correctly instead of being treated as always satisfied.

Tests

test/util/structural.test.ts: 32 cases comparing isSchemaMatch with full Ajv validity keyword by keyword, plus draft-04 booleans, invalid pattern, format ignored, and a guard that isStructuralMatch still ignores value constraints. test/util/runtime.test.ts: rules with minimum, pattern and not under no validator and under a validator without matches. 570 core tests green; build, package lint and typedoc succeed.

The SET_AJV reducer compiled the schema with the new Ajv instance but
never wrote it to state, so every later setSchema or re-enabled
validation silently went back to the previous instance.

…ing them with Ajv

Combinator tab selection compiled every oneOf/anyOf/allOf branch with
Ajv and then ignored all errors except the structural keywords
required, additionalProperties, type, enum and const. The new
isStructuralMatch evaluates exactly those keywords itself, recursively
through properties, patternProperties, items, $ref, nested combinators
and if/then/else.

Tab selection therefore no longer depends on an Ajv instance or on
code generation, so it also works under a Content Security Policy
without unsafe-eval. Equivalence with the previous filtered-Ajv
behaviour is covered by tests comparing both approaches keyword by
keyword.

Adds the validation seam from issue eclipsesource#1498 as a non-breaking addition:
the `validator` init/updateCore option takes a FormValidatorFactory
`(schema) => FormValidator` or a FormValidator already bound to the
schema. The types mirror the FormValidator / ValidationIssue of the 4.x
presentation-model branch, restricted to synchronous results.

- The core reducer creates the Form Validator through the factory
  whenever the schema changes and caches it in `state.formValidator`;
  `state.validator` keeps holding the compiled Ajv function when Ajv
  validates, so existing consumers are unaffected.
- Issues from custom validators are converted to the Ajv error shape
  the rest of core and the renderers read (`issuesToErrors`): missing
  `key` becomes `custom`, `required` issues addressed to the missing
  property are split into parent path plus `params.missingProperty`,
  non-error severities are dropped and a missing `parentSchema` is
  resolved from the form schema.
- `createAjvValidator(ajv?)` is the built-in adapter;
  `compiledAjvValidator(validateFn)` wraps Ajv standalone code for CSP
  setups without unsafe-eval.
- `getValidator(state)` exposes the bound Form Validator.
- Switching to NoValidation via setValidationMode now also drops the
  cached validator, as init and updateCore already did.

Precedence: `validator` wins, otherwise `ajv`, otherwise the default
Ajv instance. Existing users notice nothing.

Resolved with the bridge's reducer (which already stores the Ajv
instance on setAjv), both util exports, and both groups of reducer
tests.
Schema based rule conditions were always evaluated with
ajv.validate(condition.schema, value), the last place where a custom
Form Validator did not apply.

- Widen the `ajv` parameter of isVisible, isEnabled, isReadonly, the
  eval* functions and Runtime.isVisible/isEnabled to RuleValidator: an
  Ajv instance (unchanged behaviour), a FormValidator (its `matches`,
  or the Structural Matcher when it has none), a FormValidatorFactory
  (one Form Validator per condition schema, cached) or undefined (the
  Structural Matcher alone).
- Add matchesConditionSchema and the getRuleValidator selector; core's
  own mappers pass getRuleValidator(state) instead of getAjv(state).

- React, Vue and Angular JsonForms gain a `validator` prop/input next to
  `ajv`, forwarded to init/updateCore; Vue adds useValidator();
  JsonFormsAngularService.updateCoreState takes an optional validator.
- Material and vanilla withAjvProps additionally inject `ruleValidator`
  (getRuleValidator), used by the categorization layouts; Angular
  Material evaluates category visibility with getRuleValidator too.
- ExampleDescription gains an optional `validator`, passed through by
  all five example apps; new "Custom validator" example with a
  dependency-free handwritten Form Validator and a schema-based rule.

Rule conditions evaluated without a validator (none configured, or a
custom Form Validator without `matches`) only knew the structural
keywords. The new isSchemaMatch extends the Structural Matcher with
minimum, maximum, exclusiveMinimum, exclusiveMaximum, multipleOf,
minLength, maxLength, pattern, minItems, maxItems, uniqueItems,
minProperties, maxProperties and not, mirroring Ajv's semantics, and
matchesConditionSchema uses it for both validator-free paths.

isStructuralMatch is unchanged, so combinator tab selection keeps
ignoring value keywords as before.
