Description

To get a delegation from Internet Identity, the Auth Client allowed the developer to initialize the client using an existing identity. However, since the delegation can target any public key, it can be useful to allow the client to accept a "partial" identity class without a private key.

Introduces the PartialIdentity and PartialDelegationIdentity classes in @dfinity/identity, which can now be passed into AuthClient.create

This will be useful to remove the limitations such as adding an intermediary identity, as used by our deep link example: https://github.com/dfinity/examples/blob/c62de1a928fa0bf6b8fdbbbf0e0204e7cf5d6dfb/native-apps/unity_ii_applink/ii_integration_dapp/src/greet_frontend/src/index.js#L49

How Has This Been Tested?
