Refactoring in MethodValidationResult

Remove throwIfViolationsPresent and replace with static factory
methods on MethodValidationException taking MethodValidationResult,
which makes handling more explicit and allows choice of what
exception to raise.

Update MethodValidationResult to expose the target, the method, and
forReturnValue flag, so the code handling an exception will have
access to all details.
