validate-pluginval

Validate VST3 (.vst3) and AudioUnit (.component) plugins with pluginval at configurable strictness levels. Use when user says "run pluginval", "validate plugin", or wants comprehensive cross-format testing. Does NOT support .clap files. For multi-bus VST3 plugins that crash, use validate-vst3 instead.
