Improve Customisability of Workflow Validation Runs

[TheOC]

Currently Validation runs follow these two rules:

1. The "Validation Run" option is enabled by default for all newly uploaded workflows.
2. The validation process runs using the local user account, even when the workflow requires specific workflow credentials to execute - often resulting in access or permission errors that would not occur in a real run.

To improve flexibility and reduce false flags created by the validation run, I'd like to propose the following enhancements:

1. User-Configurable Default for Validation Runs
   Allow a Designer user to disable the 'validate and run' option by default in the User Settings.
2. Customisable Validation Run As Functionality
   Provide the option for a user to specify who the validation run should run as, rather than always defaulting to the local user.

These changes would make the validation workflows more reliable for users using workflow credentials within their Server.

I hit into the same issue. It matters when the Server is running under domain controller.
