Don't validate onSubmit

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

Can not determine if validate was fired from blur, change, or handleSubmit

Desired Behavior

detect what event fired validate

Info

I need the ability to tell if validate was fired from handleSubmit so I can only validate onChange and onBlur. Is there a way to do this currently?

Thanks very much for working on Formik. It’s a great library.

However this functionality is something we would like and is not quite a duplicate of #126. We would like to be able to tell the difference between a validation that is the result of a blur or change and a validation that is the result of a submit.

This is because with a on submit validation failure we want to be able to scroll the user to the invalid field, while on blur and change we want to display the error and not run anything around scrolling. Currently I cannot work out a way to do this without a significant and ugly hack, so would appreciate this feature.
