Description

DRILL-5504 introduced a stand-alone, basic vector validator to track down a specific issue.

Moving forward, that code should be extended in two ways:

1. Add validation for the remaining types (hyper-vectors, maps, etc.)
2. Move actual validation code into the vectors themselves to avoid the nasty instanceof and casting code.

The original fix was kept to a single file to enable easy patching of older releases. The final solution should push the changes into the vector classes so all vectors can be checked.
