Nate Stedman 5f3c7e0319 Add experimental Swift IGListKit APIs
Summary:
This diff introduces two experimental APIs to make `IGListKit` more usable with Swift values types:

- The `ListIdentifiable` protocol, which provides the equivalent of the diff identifier half of `ListDiffable`. For equality, we just use Swift's native `Equatable`.
- The `ListValueSectionController` base class, which provides a section controller interface for use with `ListIdentifiable` values.

These two APIs work together through the use of a private box class. I'd like to keep this detail hidden from callers, so that product code only deals with native Swift types.
