DOC: emphasize that content in NXcollection cannot be validated #1387

Also, we should note that any and all content within a NXcollection group specified by an application definition cannot be validated. NXcollection is and will always be for unvalidated content. This should be made clear in future NIAC reviews of contributed definitions and made clear in the documentation of NXcollection, with a suggestion to use NXparameters instead.
