Support permissive-mode validation in the CLI

Describe the feature you'd like to request

The CLI always calls the validator in the default (strict) mode. I'd like to add a command-line flag to allow permissive mode.

Describe the solution you'd like

Extending lib.rs in the cedar-policy-cli directory to support an additional validation flag.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only alternative is not to allow calling permissive mode from the CLI at all, but this seems weird since we support it in the library APIs

Additional context

Is this something that you'd be interested in working on?

I could have a go at this.

Looking at the current CLI setup there is already a flag --partial-validate (although experimental). Would we simply want a separate flag --permissive-validate for this? They would have to be mutually exclusive though...

Would it perhaps make more sense to have a parameter that takes a validation-mode value? It's been handled like that for the three different --x-format arguments. I would argue this is the best solution.

I have now implemented this using my second suggestion above.
