add Required, Prefix, Suffix, Contains, Match validators

Broadens the built-in set with the string/presence checks that came up
most often when reaching for this package:

  - Required[T comparable]  non-zero value
  - Prefix / Suffix / Contains  strings.HasPrefix/HasSuffix/Contains
  - Match(*regexp.Regexp)  arbitrary pattern

All follow the existing shape: a constructor returning func(T) error, a
sentinel error matched with errors.Is, table-driven tests and an Example.
