FluentValidation: Request: Add ObjectInstance to ValidationFailure

The Microsoft Blazor front-end uses an ObjectInstance/PropertyName combination to identify errors, whereas FluentValidation uses a RootObject/PathToProperty.

Could we have some way of retrieving the actual object + property name (rather than path)?

For example. A ValidationFailure for Person.HomeAddress.City would give us object Person.HomeAddress, string "City"

Take a look here for more information in a blog by Steve Sanderson - https://chrissainty.com/using-fluentvalidation-for-forms-validation-in-razor-components/

I’d be happy to submit a PR if you are open to the idea of this improvement and would like to discuss an approach you are happy with?

Update PropertyValidator to pass the parent rule instance to the ValidationFailure
Need to decide how to handle Custom validators where the user can create the ValidationFailure instance directly.
Ensure there are tests in place to make sure serialization isn’t affected
