Know when an application was found valid

Satisfied

As a user of the planning system, I need to know when an application was validated so that I can see when formal assessment began and how long validation took.

Justification

Justification just-0038

The `valid-from` value lets the planning permission timeline record the date from which the authority treated an application as valid for statutory or process purposes. The `validation-completed` value lets the timeline record when the authority completed its validation check. Without both event values, the decision-stage specification would not distinguish the date the validation check was completed from the date the application was treated as valid from. Together with `received-date`, these values let users see when formal assessment began and understand how long validation took.
