Historically, the iOS library has allowed setting a custom anonymous identifier (#485).

During adding middlewares, a bug was introduced which started ignoring the anonymousId option.

This fixes the bug and adds a test to validate the fix. This was also tested in the example app end to end and I've verified that events show up with the custom anonymousId.

How should this be manually tested?
Test snipet:

[[SEGAnalytics sharedAnalytics] identify:@"Prateek" traits:nil options: @{
                                                                           @"anonymousId":@"test_anonymousId"
                                                                         }];

Event in debugger: https://cloudup.com/cFyVH4NPR_f

Subsequent events will automatically attach the new anonymous ID https://cloudup.com/cK-i_SCbwsN

Closes #753

LGTM, but probably needs another set of eyes

You need to use the beNil matcher to match nil:

expect(identify?.anonymousId).to(beNil())

The tests are breaking because you match an Optional with a pointer (nil? == nil)
