Class ArgumentInvalidException

This exception type is useful for an ArgumentException when the argument is invalid for a reason other than being null, out of range, or having an invalid format.

I'm using the same parameter order here as used by ArgumentNullException and ArgumentOutOfRangeException, i.e. (paramName, message), for consistency. The base class, ArgumentException, has the parameters in a different order, i.e. (message, paramName), which can be confusing.

I've resolved not to use ArgumentException anymore but to treat it as an abstract base class. This will avoid the issue with the arguments being out of order, and the lack of specificity.

Normally for any ArgumentException we want to identify the argument causing the exception (which should be done using nameof()), unless there are several, in which case the offending arguments can be identified in the message.
