Add additional form validation examples
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fixes #24811.

This adds .valid-feedback to our custom styles and server side examples; previously we ommitted this to suggest you don't always need valid feedback. In addition, this adds examples of the .{valid|invalid}-tooltip classes with a new subsection in the Validation docs.

### Tooltips

If your form layout allows it, you can swap the `.{valid|invalid}-feedback` classes for `.{valid|invalid}-tooltip` classes to display validation feedback in a styled tooltip. While

## Custom forms

For even more customization and cross browser consistency, use our completely custom form elements to replace the browser defaults. They're built on top of semantic and accessible markup, so they're solid replacements for any default form control.
