Enhanced schedule validation

An enhanced version of schedule validation feature gives you the flexibility to allow the employee to clock in under certain scenarios without using supervisor mode, where the supervisor clocks in the employee.

The current version of schedule validation enforces the schedule such that employees cannot clock in prior to their scheduled start time. Employees may be able to clock in earlier if a start grace is defined, but if they are outside the grace period, they will not be able to clock in.

This new enhanced version of schedule validation also does not enforce schedule validation for non-scheduled meal breaks. In other words, employees clock out and clock in for meal breaks, so applying schedule validation does not make sense. A configuration is provided to indicate the timecodes that schedule validation should ignore.
