Review Comment:
   > I suppose we could also make a private method that skips the validation 
and declare the Compiler as a friend class that can invoke it.
   
   Welp, this won't work. The compiler isn't a class but a set of functions. 
But the real issue is that the `CustomAttributes.addAttribute` method is called 
from a static function in `Compiler.cc`, so we can't possibly make it a friend 
of `CustomAttributes`. If you have any other recommendation for how we might 
omit the validation just from the compiler, I will happily implement it.
   
   I suppose another option is to just make it another constructor argument, 
such as a new `ValidationMode`, and then document that it's unwise to use the 
"no validate" mode unless the caller is doing something else to independently 
validate the values beforehand, since it could otherwise result in 
invalid/unreadable Avro files.
   
   What do you think?
