When a setting is invalid, not only will it be blocked from being saved but all other settings will be blocked as well. This ensures that Customizer saves aren't partial but are more transactional. User will be displayed the error in a notification so that they can fix and re-attempt saving.
PHP changes:
* Introduces `WP_Customize_Setting::validate()`, `WP_Customize_Setting::$validate_callback`, and the `customize_validate_{$setting_id}` filter.
* Introduces `WP_Customize_Manager::validate_setting_values()` to do validation (and sanitization) for the setting values supplied, returning a list of `WP_Error` instances for invalid settings.
* Attempting to save settings that are invalid will result in the save being blocked entirely, with the errors being sent in the `customize_save_response`. Modifies `WP_Customize_Manager::save()` to check all settings for validity issues prior to calling their `save` methods.
* Introduces `WP_Customize_Setting::json()` for parity with the other Customizer classes. This includes exporting of the `type`.
* Modifies `WP_Customize_Manager::post_value()` to apply `validate` after `sanitize`, and if validation fails, to return the `$default`.
* Introduces `customize_save_validation_before` action which fires right before the validation checks are made prior to saving.
JS changes:
* Introduces `wp.customize.Notification` in JS which to represent `WP_Error` instances returned from the server when setting validation fails.
* Introduces `wp.customize.Setting.prototype.notifications`.
* Introduces `wp.customize.Control.prototype.notifications`, which are synced with a control's settings' notifications.
* Introduces `wp.customize.Control.prototype.renderNotifications()` to re-render a control's notifications in its notification area. This is called automatically when the notifications collection changes.
* Introduces `wp.customize.settingConstructor`, allowing custom setting types to be used in the same way that custom controls, panels, and sections can be made.
* Injects a notification area into existing controls which is populated in response to the control's `notifications` collection changing. A custom control can customize the placement of the notification area by overriding the new `getNotificationsContainerElement` method.
* When a save fails due to setting invalidity, the invalidity errors will be added to the settings to then populate in the controls' notification areas, and the first such invalid control will be focused.

* Improves parity between partials and controls. A partial or control can be settingless if instantiated with `settings` param as empty array (otherwise, if null, then the partial/control ID is used).
* Eliminate need to create dummy settings that serve no purpose except to place a control in the UI.
* Removes dummy settings for `create_new_menu` and `new_menu_name`.
* Introduces `WP_Customize_Control::$capability` and `WP_Customize_Partial::$capability`, and if set checks them in the respective `check_capabilities()` methods.
* Prevents PHP fatal error from happening when non-existing settings are provided to control: "Call to a member function `check_capabilities()` on a non-object".
* Fixes issue where nav menu items and widgets were no longer working with selective refresh because cap check was failing.

Introduces `WP_Customize_Manager::get_previewable_devices()` with a `customize_previewable_devices` filter to change the default device and which devices are available for previewing. This is a feature that was first pioneered on WordPress.com.

Widgets panel will not wait to display until the preview loads.
Also fixes problems with `margin-top` in panels where other panels' `active` states change, as well as ensuring sections of deactivated panel collapse before panel is hidden to prevent the pane from becoming empty of controls.
