Stores feature and experiment context.
Holds the state of features, attributes and other "global" state. The
context works similar to `%Plug.Conn{}`, as it is created for each request and passed along
when working with features and experiments.

Context
**Context** struct. Has a number of optional properties:
- **`enabled?`** (`t:boolean/0`) - Switch to globally disable all experiments. Default `true`.
- **`attributes`** (`t:attributes/0`) - Map of user attributes that are used
to assign variations
- **`url`** (`t:String.t/0`) - The URL of the current page
- **`features_provider`** (`t:features_provider/0`) - Function that returns latest features
- **`forced_variations`** (`t:forced_variations/0`) - Force specific experiments to always assign
a specific variation (used for QA)
- **`qa_mode?`** (`t:boolean/0`) - If `true`, random assignment is disabled and only explicitly
forced variations are used.

**Attributes** are an arbitrary JSON map containing user and request attributes. Here's an example:
```

"country" => "US",
"browser" => "firefox",

Forced variations map
A hash or map that forces an `GrowthBook.Experiment` to always assign a specific variation.
Useful for QA.
Keys are the experiment key, values are the list index of the variation. For example:
```
%{
"my-test" => 0,
"other-test" => 1
}
```

@type forced_variations() :: %{GrowthBook.feature_key() => integer()}
@typedoc """
Function that returns the latest features - a map of `%Feature{}` structs. Keys are string ids for the features.
The function will be called each time features are needed, ensuring the latest features are used.
The returned map should be in this format:
```
%{
"feature-1" => %Feature{
default_value: false
},
"my_other_feature" => %Feature{
default_value: 1,
rules: [
%FeatureRule{
