Add validation for arrays of objects, considering them as valid when they are inside nested or group.

When group is used, a filterable error is given, mentioning that nested should be used instead on this case.

Fix #1488

@mrodm do we have a place where we are already defining Elastic Package errors?

Currently, there is no definition of errors in Elastic Package. Until now, it was just getting the errors from package-spec validate method and return the errors filtered (if any).

Should this be added into a new internal/errors package ? Or maybe another naming to not have collisions with standard errors package (e.g. validationerrors? I don't like neither too much this).

I don't think these errors could be filtered as it is the code.

The methods that get the errors and filter are just for the errors from package-spec. This is in internal/validation package. For instance

func ValidateAndFilterFromPath(rootPath string) (error, error) {

You are right, this would need to be filtered at the moment of testing the package. This makes me wonder if this validation errors filtering fits here, or if this should be configured in tests. What do you think?

I could continue without making this filterable by now. It would only affect packages using spec v3.

We added some additional validations for subobjects and arrays of objects
in #1498, #1489 and related PRs. These validations only apply to packages
with spec starting on 3.0.1.

These validations rely on the structure of documents. With the adoption of
features like `subobjects: false` or synthetic source the structure is lost, and
exceptions based on spec version are not working, so the tests fail for cases
where they should not for versions of the spec older than 3.0.1. This happens
for example in the `dns` data stream of the `network_traffic` package when
LogsDB is enabled.
