Added Facade for easy Flagsmith access

[legoheld]

How about adding a Facades to retrieve the Flagsmith instance?

use Clearlyip\LaravelFlagsmith\Facades\LaravelFlagsmith;

// retrieve FlagSmith instance and call directly its function
LaravelFlagsmith::getFeatureValue( 'feature1' );

This is great! any reason to not just call it "Flagsmith"?

This is a good Point, makes more sense to call it directly Flagsmith.

Something else that I was thinking about was your UserTrait, which makes totally sense as long as you have a User.
If you have a system where you start without users you would probably access Flagsmith with this new Facade:

use Clearlyip\LaravelFlagsmith\Facades\Flagsmith;

Flagsmith::getFeatureValue( 'feature1' );

Later in the project you will introduce the User and then you have to adjust all your Facade calls with the usertrait methods. So I was wondering if it would make sense to add a little more logic to the Facade so that it will send the logged in/passed user to the Flagsmith API based on the config.

This way the User Trait methods would be reduced into simple Facade calls:

public function getFeatures(): array {
  return Flagsmith::getFeatures( $this );
}

And the getFeatureIdentity functionality would be on the Facade instance.

This way you just use the Facade everywhere and you have additional helper methods on the UserTrait that will invoke properly the Facade.

Do you see what I mean? ;)
Do you think that makes sense? I can adjust the PR if you like...
