Validator for password strength.
This class defines a specialized validator interface for evaluating password strength. The implementation allows to evaluate strength in addition to the normal validator functionality of validating a password.
The evaluateStrength() computes the strength and returns an instance of StrenghtValidatorResult which contains information on the validity and the strength of the password together with possible messages.

```
    Evaluates the strength of a password.
    The result is an instance of AbstractPasswordService.StrengthValidatorResult which contains information on the validity and the strength of the password together with possible messages.
    The validator may take into account the user's login name and email address, to exclude passwords that are too similar to these.
  - validate
```
public WValidator.Result validate(java.lang.String password,
                                  java.lang.String loginName,
                                  java.lang.String email)
```
    Validates a password.
    This uses evaluateStrength(), isValid() and message() to return the result of password validation.
  - validate
```
public WValidator.Result validate(java.lang.String password)
```
    Validates a password.
    Calls validate(password, WString.Empty, "");
