Philip Top 8c77664bd0 move some of the Validators to an ExtraValidators file (#1192)
Rework some of the validator locations, add documentation, and fix some
lingering issues with validators.
The extra will will enable additions of some new validators and reduce
compile times for those that are not needed.
