[validations] tests: improve docstrings and add copyright header

- Added copyright header (SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0)
- Moved test-specific information from file docstring to individual tests
- Removed special characters from docstrings
- Removed 'Before fix/After fix' comments - tests describe behavior, not history
- Renamed test_returns_string_not_bytes to test_returns_format for clarity
- Updated all docstrings to be more concise and descriptive

-These tests verify that the filter:
-1. Returns str (not bytes) - CRITICAL for the fix
-2. Handles normal cases
-3. Handles malformed/edge-case input gracefully
-4. Generates valid XML output
