Cedar validation features/changes

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Currently, the validator issues a warning if an Entity UID contains a / as that falls outside of the Unicode General Security Profile for Identifiers.

The spec says:

That specification also permits other protocols to use that method as a base, and to define a profile that adds or removes characters. For example, identifiers for specific programming languages typically add some characters like "$", and remove others

/ is used in some reasonable entity names like networks (Network::"192.168.0.1/16") and Windows usernames (MyDomain/user)

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative is leaving the current string warnings at the default General Security Profile. This is a non-blocking problem as it's merely a warning. However, excessive false positive warnings are annoying for users.
