Description

By default validating fields use this syntax validator(value) but password validators don't implement .__call__(). Therefore making them unusable outside of validate_password().
This is small change doesn't change any behavior but add support for intuitive approach to password validators.

I think it will be enough to add such a method to django.contrib.auth.password_validation classes:

def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    return self.validate(*args, **kwargs)

Thank you iamkorniichuk for creating this ticket.

As I mentioned in your PR, I agree that the inconsistency between the django.core.validators providing __call__ but password validators not providing it feels off. Accepting on that basis, also I couldn't find a previous conversation or request about this issue.

Please note that the PR definitely needs tests and docs updates, besides a small release note for 5.2.

Good luck!
