Several data-types like Either but with differing properties and type-class
instances.

Library support is provided for those different representations, include
`lens`-related functions for converting between each and abstracting over their
similarities.

* `AccValidation`

The `AccValidation` data type is isomorphic to `Either`, but has an instance of
`Applicative` that accumulates on the error side. That is to say, if two (or
more) errors are encountered, they are appended using a `Semigroup` operation.

As a consequence of this `Applicative` instance, there is no corresponding
`Bind` or `Monad` instance. `AccValidation` is an example of, "An applicative
functor that is not a monad."

* `Validation`

The `Validation` data type is isomorphic to `Either` and has a `Monad` instance
that does the same as `Either`. The only difference to `Either` is the
constructor names and surrounding library support.

* `ValidationT`

The `ValidationT` data type is the monad transformer for `Validation`.
An instance of `MonadTrans` is provided for `(ValidationT err)`. Due to the
arrangement of the `ValidationT` type constructor, which permits a `MonadTrans
instance, there is no possible `Bifunctor` instance. Consequently, the
`ValidationB` data type provides a `Bifunctor` instance (but not a `MonadTrans`
instance). Library support is provided to exploit the isomorphism to
`ValidationB`.

Note that since `AccValidation` is not a monad, there is also no corresponding
monad transformer for this data type.

* `ValidationB`

The `ValidationB` data type is similar to the monad transformer for
`Validation` (`ValidationT`), however, due to the arrangement of the
`ValidationB` type constructor, which permits a `Bifunctor` instance, there is
no possible `MonadTrans` instance. Consequently, the `ValidationT` data type
provides a `MonadTrans` instance (but not a `Bifunctor` instance).
Library support is provided to exploit the isomorphism to `ValidationT`.

* `Validation'`

The `Validation' err a` type-alias is equivalent to `ValidationT err Identity
a` and so is isomorphic to `Either` and others. Libraries are supplied
accordingly.
