Add initial experimental user content filtering API

The one big thing I think this API is missing, and that will need to be addressed, is dealing with a compilation phase of the rule list. This is largely due to the fact that I am not sure what we want our model to be. Should all loads be deferred when we are compiling the rule list? Should the client of the API have to explicitly ask for the rule list to be compiled and then pass the compiled list to WKUserContentController?

Thanks a lot for building the APIs!

General comments:
-IMHO, rulelist is a poor name for the JSON string.
-You really like making interfaces :)

I am curious why you added remove-all but not remove-one.

I am not a fan of the name ContentFilter. Hopefully we will do more than filtering content :)

Isn't it a little weird to call the argument ruleList since it is a string?

I'll use serializedRules as you did.

Just to match UserScripts, and no other good reason.

Fair enough.  I thought ContentExtension was too broad :). We will have to find something in the middle.

I'll change it.
