Agree - there is now a place to stick the explanations in the
ValidationError - we need to link together validation logic and that string.

For example, creating a service with id 'redis-master10012345678999' fails
and the returned message contains the following:

"message": "service "redis-master10012345678999" is invalid: name:
invalid value 'redis-master10012345678999'

'invalid value' is too general, users should understand exactly what is
wrong with the input.
for example - is it too long? does it contain characters that are not
allowed?

#3087.

I checked pkg/api/validation/validation.go and it seems there are only two errors that do not have detailed explanation. I'll send a PR to fix this.

This is one:

Thanks for the pointer Brian! I'll send second PR to fix this one.

Still second PR to be sent.
