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 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.
