Custom attributes

Adding support for custom attributes would make it easier for users to coerce the resulting classes just the way they want, while extending functionality by being able to specify non-standard types.

Initial ideas:

• valueType - Specify a custom type to cast the value to.
  • Useful for things like String -> CharSequence.
  • EditTextPreference is considered a String by shared prefs but can be a numerical value. Current behavior reads it as an int (Rewrite in Kotlin #5)
  • This would also be useful for specifying non-xml-friendly types that SharedPreferences supports, such as StringSet or Long.
• entryName - Custom name for the entry in xml. Would take precedence over generating one from the key.
• skip - Don't generate a block for this preference
