Expose field item to context providers

Problem/Motivation

It would be great if the field widget could expose information about the widget to be retrievable by other code. Specifically, I'm thinking about custom or other contrib code implementing \Drupal\Core\Plugin\Context\ContextProviderInterface, it would be nice to be able to know at that point (::getRuntimeContexts()) which field triggered the available contexts call.

More specifically, imagine you have view A with a contextual filter on taxonomy vocabulary V1, and view B with a contextual filter on taxonomy vocabulary V2. You will want to expose terms of both vocabularies so editors can choose a fixed filter when placing the block, but you don't want to expose V1 terms on the view that only accepts terms of V2. Letting the context provider know the field definition would be enough for that.

    Since there's no interdiff from #11 to #12 / #13 @marcoscano can you tell what's the status and needs to be done here to finish this?

    Which patch should be reviewed? Should we add tests?

    If it helps, I've been using #13 so far with the same functionalities than what @marcoscano was implementing, so I'd suggest we pick from there.
