Added a -v/--validate option to fish_opt

This new flag causes fish_opt to generrate an option spec with !
(e.g. "fish_opt -s s -rv some code" will output "s=!some code").

Such validation scripts are not particular useful (they are highly limited as
they cannot access the values for other options, and must be quoted
appropriately so they can be passed to argparse). I merely added the option to
fish_opt so that it can now generate any valid option spec.

**-v** or **--validate** *COMMAND* *OPTION...*
This option must be the last one, and requires one of ``-o``, ``-r``, or ``-m``. All the remaining arguments are interpreted a fish script to run to validate the value of the argument, see ``argparse`` documentation for more details. Note that the interpretation of *COMMAND* *OPTION...* is similar to ``eval``, so you may need to quote or escape special characters *twice* if you want them to be interpreted literally when the validate script is run.
