Feature Request: Custom Validator Plugins

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, Spectacles provides a set of built-in validators for Looker and LookML, but in many cases, teams may require custom validation rules specific to their data models or business logic.

Describe the solution you'd like
I propose adding a feature that enables the creation and integration of custom validator plugins into the Spectacles framework. This would allow users to write specific validation checks that can be run alongside the existing validators, enhancing the flexibility and usefulness of the tool.

Additional context
Implementing this feature could involve:

  • Providing a plugin interface where developers can define their custom validations.
  • Documentation on how to create and use these validators.

With this capability, teams can better ensure the integrity of their data pipelines and maintain quality consistent with their unique requirements.
