* Relaxed $.validator.format so that the arguments don't have to be strings. Added overloads, so that if called with just a template and no arguments, it returns a curried function, as per http://jqueryvalidation.org/category/validator/. $.format might need changing (?) but I haven't touched it as it's deprecated anyway. Added tests.
* Place everything inside a JQueryValidation module to avoid cluttering the global namespace
* Split Validator into Validator and ValidatorStatic interfaces for correctness. Subdivide tests accordingly.
* Change rules to be typed as a RulesDictionary rather than an Object.
* Change ValidationOptions.groups to be { [groupName: string]: string } rather than Object.
* Change ValidationOptions.onclick, onfocusout and onkeyup from bool | Function to ShouldValidatePredicate, an alias for boolean | ((element: HTMLElement, event: JQueryEventObject) => void). Added more tests
jQUery Validation does not send arguments but an array of the argument already built. By using the ... syntax of TypeScript, we get an array with one item that has the array sent by jQuery validation. I think the definition should use an array instead of arguments syntax.
