* feat: add a constructor parameter for loose validation (#328)

* feat: add a constructor parameter for loose validation

This commit adds a second, optional boolean parameter to the `CloudEvent`
constructor. When `false` is provided, the event constructor will not
perform validation of the event properties, values and extension names.

This commit also modifies the ValidationError class so that the error message
string includes the JSON.stringified version of any schema validation
errors. It also makes the HTTP.toEvent() function create CloudEvent
objects with loose/no validation.

Incorporates comments from #328

Fixes: #325
