I'll look, if this requires breaking changes it can go in v1, if not I guess it could go in v0.32.2
Weirdly doesn't happen if you remove remove `Optional[]`.

duplicated errors when validators raise ValidationError
# Bug

As a work around for #619 I tried the following

```py
from pydantic import VERSION, BaseModel, Union, validator
from typing_extensions import Literal
print('pydantic version:', VERSION)

class Foo(BaseModel):
    model_type: Literal['foo']
    f: int

class Bar(BaseModel):
    model_type: Literal['bar']
    b: int

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    foobar: Union[Foo, Bar]

    @validator('foobar', pre=True)
    def check_action(cls, v):
        if isinstance(v, dict):
            model_type = v.get('model_type')
            if model_type == 'foo':
                return Foo(**v)
            if model_type == 'var':
                return Bar(**v)
        return v

MyModel(foobar={'model_type': 'foo', 'f': 'x'})
```
Output:
```
pydantic version: 0.32.1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 31, in <module>
    MyModel(foobar={'model_type': 'foo', 'f': 'x'})
  File "pydantic/main.py", line 275, in pydantic.main.BaseModel.__init__
  File "pydantic/main.py", line 785, in pydantic.main.validate_model
pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 2 validation errors for MyModel
foobar -> f
  value is not a valid integer (type=type_error.integer)
foobar -> f
  value is not a valid integer (type=type_error.integer)
```

When validators raise `ValidationError` the errors are duplicated.

Won't be that common, but should be fixed.


Repeated error when validator raises an exception
# Bug

Please complete:
* OS: **Ubuntu**
* Python version `import sys; print(sys.version)`: **3.7.4**
* Pydantic version `import pydantic; print(pydantic.VERSION)`: **v0.32.1**

```py
from typing import Optional

from pydantic import BaseModel, validator

class Foobar(BaseModel):
    foo: Optional[str] = None

    @validator('foo', always=True)
    def check_foo(cls, v):
        if not v:
            raise ValueError('custom error, foo is required')
        return v

print(Foobar(foo='x'))
print(Foobar())
```

Outputs:
```
pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 2 validation errors for Foobar
foo
  none is not an allowed value (type=type_error.none.not_allowed)
foo
  custom error, foo is required (type=value_error)
```

If i add `pre=True`, the error is even weirder:
```
pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 2 validation errors for Foobar
foo
  custom error, foo is required (type=value_error)
foo
  custom error, foo is required (type=value_error)
```
