The queue of processed events is not a reliable record of the results of a
pipeline's processing. It fails to account for events that are created by
filters (such as split, clone, some uses of the ruby filter, etc.),
contains events that have been cancelled and were not routed to outputs,
and relies on the current implementation detail of the queue holding
references to the events that are later mutated.
By default, the sample helper should validate the actual result of the
provided event(s) to the pipeline, as received by the outputs.
In order to reduce the risk of one of our plugins somehow needing to rely on
queue state for validation cascading to a reversion of this change, we also
provide an option for plugins to explicitly opt to validate the queue
(supply validation_source: :queue to the sample helper).
