The fix splits client validation and model validation into two separate hierarchies.
Introduced ClientModelValidatorProvider in MvcOptions, which can be iterated to produce IClientModelValidators.
As a result of this, HtmlGenerator code can be free of ActionBindingContext and directly consumes options.
This also means that we do not modify the client validations during resource filters.
This change removes reflection from validator providers, and instead
relies on cached metadata in in the modelmetadata.
In general this means that our MVPs don't need to cache anything, they
just look at the metadata and create what they need.
In the case of data-annotations, we update the model details provider to
add validation attributes to the modelmetadata. This would allow someone
to replace the DataAnnotationsValidatorProvider, but still use the
metadata in these attributes.
The change to the IModelValidatorProvider api (to use a context) is
intended to minimize allocations. Currently each validator provider needs
to return a list so you end up with N+1 lists (N validators + a final list
to compine them all). This change will let us just create the final list
(and a small context object). This is a very very high traffic API so it
seemed worth doing.
There's also some general massaging of namespaces and file locations.
Separates the MMP into two phases:
1). Creation of the ModelMetadata, discovery of properties and attributes
(reflection) is part of the MMP
2). Lookup of details based on attributes is now part of another phase,
and has its results cached.
Users can now implements and register an IFooMetadataProvider to customize
a single aspect of metadata (see how data annotations does it).
This is a new filter stage that surrounds the existing model binding,
action, and result parts of the pipeline. Resource Filters run after
Authorization Filters.
The other major change is to support one of the primary scenarios for
Resource Filters. We want a filter to be able to modify the inputs the
model binding (formatters, model binders, value providers, etc) -- this
means that those changes need to be held on a context object and preserved
so that they can be used in the controller.
So, IActionBindingContextProvider is removed - the ActionBindingContext
will be created by the invoker. For now it will be part of the action
context.

Did not change files under following directories

- test\WebSites\TagHelpersWebSite
(Razor generates trailing whitespace in a case or two)
- helps w/ #453 since `Html.BeginForm()` wasn't previously tested
- provide a `DefaultTemplatesUtilities.GetHtmlHelper()` overload with an
`IHtmlGenerator` parameter
- update `DefaultTemplateUtilities` to use `DefaultHttpContext`
- stop using a mock for this purpose; provides a non-`null` `Request`
nit:
- `DefaultTemplatesUtilities.GetHtmlHelperForViewData()` -> `...GetHtmlHelper()`
for consistency with other overloads
- make a few more methods available as `internal static` in `DefaultHtmlGenerator`
- remove `IHtmlGenerator.GenerateOption()`; now `internal static`
nits:
- add `IHtmlGenerator.IdAttributeDotReplacement`
- move `DefaultHtmlGenerator.IdAttributeDotReplacement` after constructor
- move `HtmlHelper.ActionLink()` below static methods
- move newly-`internal` methods together in `DefaultHtmlGenerator`
- correct placement of `DefaultHtmlGenerator.GetValidationAttributes()` comment
- #965
- test call-throughs from `Html.Editor[For]()` to inner `IHtmlHelper`
- add another parameter to `DefaultTemplatesUtilities.GetHtmlHelper()`
nit: reorder dictionaries at the top of `TemplateRenderer` slightly
https://roslyn.codeplex.com/workitem/246 affects usage of code with the
latest build of Roslyn with Moq v4.2. The workaround involves ensuring a
closure is created. Updating affected tests to make ToString() calls on
local variables to create these closures.
- add more `DefaultTemplatesUtilities.GetHtmlHelper()` overloads, all
returning a strongly-typed helper
- also correct that method to ensure template helpers each get a unique
`IHtmlHelper` instance
