In an attempt to provide a generic solution for this
set of issues, this adds a way to add validators
in the middle of the structure.

On failure, we assert on output (should never happen)
and fail migration on input.

The last patch in the series shows how the new
infrastructure is used.
I'll wait a bit for feedback, if there's none
I'll go ahead and use this to fix the state loading CVEs.

Changes from v2:
