Validation compaction -- although I still maintain that it is a good
descriptive name -- was an unfortunate choice for the underlying
functionality because Origin has burned the name already as it uses it
for a compaction type used during repair. This opens the door for
confusion for users coming from Cassandra who will associate Validation
compaction with the purpose it is used for in Origin.
Additionally, since Origin's validation compaction was not user
initiated, it didn't have a corresponding `nodetool` command to start
it. Adding such a command would create an operational difference between
us and Origin.
To avoid all this we fold validation compaction into scrub compaction,
under a new "validation" mode. I decided against using the also
suggested `--dry-mode` flag as I feel that a new mode is a more natural
choice, we don't have to define how it interacts with all the other
modes, unlike with a `--dry-mode` flag.
Fixes: #7736
Tests: unit(dev), manual(REST API)
