I added anariaDescribedByCleanup option to the validator setting. The default is false just to keep the current behavior (leave the value in place but empty and hide the error elements). I don't feel strongly about that, but it felt safer to make this opt-in, especially because there's a certain amount of customization that needs to happen in order for this to be a problem.

Fixes#2094 (kind of; the examples given in the issue are from unobtrusive, and the default is the current behavior, the setting will have to be updated in unobtrusive.)

Added additional tests for this functionality, plus a demo page.

Groups

aria-describedby is used on all group elements if any of them has an error, and is only removed when all elements in that group are valid. This seemed the most consistent with the current functionality.
