Add `validations` dependency type to targets

This introduces a new dependency type called validations. Validations
are targets that must be built if the depending target is built, but
which do not affect the result of the current target (unlike deps) and
are not runtime-only dependencies (unlike data_deps).

This is primarily useful for declaring tasks like static analysis, style
checking, or other linters that should run alongside the build.
