Issue:
root_validator and context
So in v2 `@field_validator` have context passed to a callback but `@root_validator` is not 

can we add as well context to `@root_validator` ?



Discussion:
I think the plan is to create a new validator called `@model_validator` or similar, which will be like `@root_validator` but follow more of the v2 api conventions (and, in particular, have `context`). And `@root_validator` will get deprecated and just remain for v1 backwards compatibility.

@adriangb may have more detail and/or be able to correct this statement.
`@model_validator` already exists. We obviously need better docs, but here are the tests: https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/blob/8f855b060aae63ea3c06dd17b3e5b50edf5f7bd0/tests/test_model_validator.py
@adriangb got it, thank you

will import stay like this 

`from pydantic.decorators import model_validator` 

or you will make it as well 

`from pydantic import model_validator` ?
The second should work (or be added).
@samuelcolvin @adriangb 

there is just one issue with `model_validator`- so `root_validator` worked with classmethods, while `model_validator` works with staticmethod:

```Python
class Shape(BaseModel):
    ...
    @root_validator(pre=True)
    def run_root_validator(cls, values):
        # ------------------^
        print('run_root_validator:', cls, values)
        ...

    @model_validator(mode='before')
    def run_model_validator(values, info: ValidationInfo):
        print('run_model_validator', info)
        ...
```

can we make model_validator for classmethod as well ? or pass the class in ValidationInfo ?
This works:

```python
from typing import Any, Dict

from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic.decorators import model_validator


class Model(BaseModel):
    x: int

    @model_validator(mode='before')
    @classmethod
    def val_x(cls, values: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        values['x'] += 1
        return values


assert Model(x=1).x == 2
```

We can add support for not specifying `@classmethod`, but you probably should anyway.
@adriangb ok, but anyway behaviour of root_validator and model_validator are different when you inherit models:

```Python
class Human(BaseModel):
    model_config = ConfigDict(from_attributes=True)

    @root_validator(pre=True)
    def run_root_validator(cls, values):
        print('run_root_validator:', cls, values)
        return values

    @model_validator(mode='before')
    def run_model_validator(values, info: ValidationInfo):
        print('run_model_validator', info)
        return values


class Person(Human):
    id: int
    name: str
    age: int = None


data = Person.model_validate(obj, context={'request': 'some'})
```
**model_validator is not executing** in this case, while **root_validator is fine**:

```
run_root_validator: <class '__main__.Person'> <Mock object at 0x1033eec70>
```
