Implements #198: Add support for overriding validation paths to suppress redundant path segments, particularly useful for inline/value classes serialized with kotlinx.serialization. Users can now set `path = ValidationPath.EMPTY` in a validation block to suppress the automatic path segment, or set a custom path to replace it entirely. Example usage: ```kotlin Validation<WrapperClass> { WrapperClass::valueClass { ValueClass::integer { path = ValidationPath.EMPTY // Suppresses .integer minimum(1) } } } // Error path: .valueClass (not .valueClass.integer) ``` Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes #198
Summary
Adds support for overriding validation paths to suppress redundant path segments, particularly useful for inline/value classes serialized with kotlinx.serialization.
Implementation
var path: ValidationPath?property toValidationBuildervalidate(),ifPresent(),required(), andonEach*()methods to respect the path overridepathis set (e.g., toValidationPath.EMPTY), it replaces the automatic path segment from the propertyUsage Example
This is particularly useful when value classes are transparently serialized by kotlinx.serialization, so the JSON path doesn't include the inner property.
Testing
PathOverrideTest.ktNotes
RequiredValidationBuilder.hintpathproperty is nullable to distinguish "not set" from "set to EMPTY"
