1. Add incremental validation …

   Validation is modified when using `useIncrementalValidation=true` to not fail when encountering additions, which are known to be backwards compatible. Instead spits out warnings to allow developers commiting the file early with the changes they have made.
   
   The use case is to pair it with CI-run :check (:apiDump) task and commit updated API after merge - considering all steps are automated. In cases where the API is not compatible, the task fails similarly to `useIncrementalValidation=false` or simply _the default_.
   
   It's acknowledged that using `useIncrementalValidation=true` might cause issues when building upon a feature (or PR) in which cases the .api file might be left out in its previous state, not commited to the VCS. In which case the developer might prefer leaving the option in the default state (false).
   
   To the naked eye it might be apparent that checking only removals (leading `-`) is naive, but since the api diff add two distinct lines for changes (one leading `-`, other `+`), this naive approach proves working for all considered use-cases.
