.`pcs` now validates resource parameters when creating or updating a resource

When you create or update a cluster resource, the `pcs` command-line interface now automatically asks the resource agent to validate the parameters you entered. If you specify `--agent-validation`, an invalid parameter yields an error. To maintain backward compatibility, if you do not specify `--agent-validation`, an invalid parameter prints a warning but does not prevent misconfiguration.

Release Note Status:
Done

As a followup to rhbz#2112270 and rhbz#2159454, pcs should validate instance attributes via agents by default.

To prevent unnecessary failures caused by various issues in the agents, however, pcs will not error-out unless --agent-validation is specified.

The long-term goal is to prevent the agent misconfiguration, rather than let the agent being misconfigured and fail.

'pcs (resource|stonith) (create|update)' commands call the respective agents 'validate-all' action by default
if --agent-validation is not specified, the validation doesn't produce errors
if --agent-validation is specified, the validation does produce errors and prevents resource misconfiguration
pcs doesn't fail in case the resource or stonith agent doesn't support 'validate-all' action
