Summary: I have a few details left, but its almost done. This PR addresses #145 - The NSUserDefaults plugin uses the SharedPreferences Desktop Part since we can reuse all of it. - The NSUserDefaults plugin uses swizzling in order to be notified of what specific event changed at runtime. - Added Test harness in both Sample Swift and Sample apps for iOS in order to test the plugin. - Updated the documentation in `docs/shared-preferences-plugin.md` and` README.md` I am open to suggestions since the desktop sharedPreferences version doesn't support deletion of preferences. Most likely I would have to modify the UI, and for that matter, I might as well build a user defaults desktop version I wanted to add xiphirx in this MR since he developed the shared preferences plugin for Android and Desktop. I don't see a way to remove preferences from the flipper desktop app so I was wondering if you would be OK with me adding that.

Mobile development
Flipper aims to be your number one companion for mobile app development on iOS and Android. Therefore, we provide a bunch of useful tools including a log viewer, interactive layout inspector, and network inspector.
Extending Flipper
Flipper is built as a platform. In addition to using the tools already included, you can create your own plugins to visualize and debug data from your mobile apps. Flipper takes care of sending data back and forth, calling functions, and listening for events on the mobile app.
Contributing to Flipper
Both Flipper's desktop app and native mobile SDKs are open-source and MIT licensed. This enables you to see and understand how we are building plugins, and of course join the community and help improve Flipper. We are excited to see what you will build on this platform.
