Implement DBField validation

[emteknetnz]

Consolidate validation systems contained a POC that added DBField validation via a new shared FIeldsValidator class. We agreed that we should proceed with implementing this for CMS 6

Acceptance criteria

• [ ] Technical approach taken in the POC is used
• [ ] Change the double array config from the POC to instead allow options A), B) and C)
• [x] Types of validation that could be handled on FieldValidator's are identified, e.g. Email, URL, Int size, etc - note the existing data types
• [ ] Existing FormField validate methods are updated to use FieldValidator's where possible
• [ ] Some new DB fields are created with validation e.g. DBEmail, DBUrl, DBIp
• [ ] New DB fields are autoscaffold existing equivalent FormField if one exists e.g. EmailField, though DBIp would just be a TextField
• [ ] New DBFields are listed in docs on the Data types page
• [ ] DBField validation is mentioned in the developer docs
• [ ] 6.0.0 changelog calls out that data will no longer be inserted and truncated if it exceeds varchar character lengths, etc, instead it will throw a validation exception
