acbee7795d bevy_reflect: Reflect arrays (#4701)
# Objective

> ℹ️ **Note**: This is a rebased version of #2383. A large portion of it has not been touched (only a few minor changes) so that any additional discussion may happen here. All credit should go to @NathanSWard for their work on the original PR.

- Currently reflection is not supported for arrays.
- Fixes #1213

## Solution

* Implement reflection for arrays via the `Array` trait.
* Note, `Array` is different from `List` in the way that you cannot push elements onto an array as they are statically sized.
* Now `List` is defined as a sub-trait of `Array`.

---

## Changelog

* Added the `Array` reflection trait
* Allows arrays up to length 32 to be reflected via the `Array` trait

## Migration Guide

* The `List` trait now has the `Array` supertrait. This means that `clone_dynamic` will need to specify which version to use:
  ```rust
  // Before
  let cloned = my_list.clone_dynamic();
  // After
  let cloned = List::clone_dynamic(&my_list);
  ```
* All implementers of `List` will now need to implement `Array` (this mostly involves moving the existing methods to the `Array` impl)
