/// A value holder that keeps its internal data (the value) synchronized with its UserDefaults value. The value is read from UserDefaults on initialization (if exists, otherwise a default value is used) and written when the value changes. Also a custom validation & onChange closure can be set on initialization.
///
/// Another feature of this class is that when the value changes, the change can be observed by multiple observers. There are two observation levels: the instance level, when the observers register directly to the UserDefaultsValue instance, and group level, if the UserDefaultsValue instance is embeded in a group (UserDefaultsValueGroups class manages the groups). It is very convenient to declare related values in the same group, so when one of them changes, the group observers are notified that a change occured in that group (no need to observe each particular UserDefaultsValue instance).
