Michel Weststrate e26a8c5ad0 Provide standardised MasterDetail
Summary:
Noticed in reviews during the convertathon there is still quite some boilerplate in things that happen on the boundary of UI and plugin state, such as setting up menu entries and providing common functionality like clear, master/detail layout, etc.

This diff introduces the `MasterDetail` component, which takes a higher level approach by merely needing to provide the state atoms and desired features, and taking care of the wiring.

Applied it to createTablePlugin, to prove that going from `createTablePlugin` to `MasterDetail` will be a much smaller step now.

Verified on the funnel logger plugin

flipper-plugin

flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").

For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ

flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:

  1. (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
  2. (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
  3. (TODO) Testing utilities

API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).

There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency. Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
