CDAF Variable Validation Operation

CDAF provided tabular configuration management files in late 2018, but until now, did not have a convenient way of verifying these properties when they are loaded as variables, nor environment variables, at deploy time. The VARCHK operation has been added to the execution engine to allow different validation rules and logging. The operation syntax is

VARCHK properties.filename

There are 5 rules available, two for plain text and three for secrets. When validating a secret against a known MD5 value, either a literal or variable can be supplied.
