Title: Change validation methods from private to protected

Can we change all validation methods from private to protected please?
This will make it a lot easier for 3rd party addons when they extend controller classes and introduce their own additional variables which may have to validated, too, in an overriden validation method.

See also our OpenCart extension 'Override Engine' at http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=8588 formore details on how we often create OpenCart addons using extended controller classes.
