Support filtering of domain validation on Add New Site.

[TJNowell]

I've a client who wanted to add subdirectory sites in a multisite install e.g.:

example.com/department1/johnjoe

example.com/department2/fredbloggs

etc. But to do this, they had to add the site without the slash, then go back, and edit the sites URL.

So to allow support for this, ( coupled with the obligatory custom sunrise.php ) and to allow error checking ( e.g. not allowing depoortment1, and only allowing a preset number of subfolders ), I added a filter.

You'll find attached a small patch to site-new.php adding this filter

Indeed, that particular ticket is related to my use case, but there are other uses for the filter ( beyond the subdirectory use ), e.g. enforcing naming conventions

No progress yet, but domain and path validation (and filtering) is something I definitely want to work on in the near future. See also #17397 for ideas here.

I want to avoid immediately adding a filter so that we don't put ourselves in a hole. I do think it's something we can get to soon though.
