New description:

 Validation for messages is currently based on definitions in
 `master/buildbot/test/util/validation.py`, while validation for resource
 types is based on the resource type definition itself.  Since messages
 should match resource types, it make sense that message validation should
 be based on resource type definitions, too.

 The wrinkle here is that it's currently difficult to figure out what
 resource type a message corresponds to.  At one point, the first component
 of each routing key identified the type, but new topics don't follow this
 pattern.
