Introduce error code for validation errors.

This patch is meant to fix #3111, regarding comments made to #3137
and #3169.

The `ValidationError` will now contain a `code` attribute.

Before this patch, `ValidationError.detail` only contained a
`dict` with values equal to a  `list` of string error messages or
directly a `list` containing string error messages.

Now, the string error messages are replaced with `ValidationError`.

This means that, depending on the case, you will not only get a
string back but a all object containing both the error message and
the error code, respectively `ValidationError.detail` and
`ValidationError.code`.

It is important to note that the `code` attribute is not relevant
when the `ValidationError` represents a combination of errors and
hence is `None` in such cases.

The main benefit of this change is that the error message and
error code are now accessible the custom exception handler and can
be used to format the error response.

An custom exception handler example is available in the
`TestValidationErrorWithCode` test.

We keep `Serializer.errors`'s return type unchanged in
order to maintain backward compatibility.

The error codes will only be propagated to the `exception_handler`
or accessible through the `Serializer._errors` private attribute.
