Chain validator functions
It would be great if one would be able to execute several validator functions in succession. So instead of having something like:
```
builder.validate_field_value('server.port', function_1)
```
it would be great if one could do:
```
builder.validate_field_value('server.port', [function_1, function_2])
```
... so that the specified validators get executed one after another.
