Patrick Boettcher 7beb40bc61 Complete rewrite of the validator - aiming a 2.0-release
Schema a now "parsed" into C++-validator-objects in a first
step and then validation takes place with these objects.

Errors are now handled via a user-provided error-handler
allowing the user to collect all errors at once or bail out
when a certain threshold is reached. Fixes #36 and #8.

One (sub-)schema can now be referenced with different URIs. Fixes #9

JSON schema draft 7 is now supported. Fixes #35
