Support Interface Builder

It would be extremely useful to support placement of VectorViews in Interface Builder. Programmatic layout is cumbersome and increases development time.

Thanks for opening an issue. This might be investigated at some point, and I'd be happy to review a PR, but unfortunately supporting IB isn't a priority for us.

In my experience, IB doesn't really play well with constructor injection and eliminating unnecessary optionals, which is the style of programming that we try to encourage. I think it would be a challenge to make this work in a reliable way that didn't require undesirable changes to the existing API.

Thanks for your response. I've wrapped a VectorDrawable in an IBDesignable class and implemented prepareForInterfaceBuilder(), which gives a workaround suitable for my needs.
