Sam Smith 9177c22365 features: Add minimalist feature manager
With complex additions to Vector's codebase like the Desktop Improvement
Program upcoming, it's important that we have a shared, intuitive
language to talk about features and their requirements. Centralising
the registration of features and creating an API satisfies does exactly
this.

This change introduces a greatly-reduced version of Piotr Miazga's
(polishdeveloper, pmiazga) original proposed API and associated
scaffolding classes for feature management in Vector, which itself was
based upon his work in MobileFrontend/MinervaNeue. This is done to
establish a foundation upon which we can build the more sophisticated
parts of Piotr's proposal in a piecemeal basis, thereby minimising risk.

Distinct from Piotr's proposed API is the ability to register sets and
features that are always enabled or disabled.

Additionally:

- A Vector.FeatureManager service is registered but not used

- A list of proposed immediate next steps is included
