Improve Module validator performances

[Olivier-JOURDAN]

I'm triggering module validation with CI. On a large project (40+ modules), the validation takes 20+ minutes to execute.

I'm wondering if there are ways to reduce this execution time.

...and/or supply a hook into what's happening, so we can at least update the UI or CLI, as described here:

There is definitely room for improvement in the validation tool in terms of performance. Lots of the individual validation tests do their own parsing that could probably be done once by the engine and passed in to the tests. For example, if the engine opened references to all ProjectItems and VIs that live in the module library, I imagine each validation test would run much faster.
