Add a field formatter for lists

Problem/Motivation

At the moment there is no export formatter for Lists. Using the existing formatters, we can export either the key or the value, but not both.

In many instances we would want both, for example a list of countries:

AD|Andorra
AE|United Arab Emirates
AF|Afghanistan

Typically a frontend would display "Andorra", but would use "AD" as query string parameter when specifying a sort order, so both are needed.

Lists are a core Drupal field type, so it makes sense that the formatter should be included in rest_views

Proposed resolution

Implement OptionsExportFormatter in rest_views

I would propose a setting which would allow to chose between:

{
  AD: "Andorra"
}

and

{
  key: "AD",
  label: "Andorra"
}

The default formatters can still be used to export just the value of the key, so wouldn't need an extra setting here.
