Validation findings should support representation of related items #155

Some validation findings are related directly to the co-existence or conflict between multiple values. Consider a GEDCOM file that contains a set of triplets born on the same date but in three different places. This would be a finding, but referencing a single one of the children would not represent the nature of the problem; you'd need the three triplets (and none of their siblings) as the "offending value(s)" listed in the finding, with the Family object as the object that has the offending values.

Shifting a bit to having an item with the problem, and related items that contribute to the problem.
