The use case: for certain long fields, we would like to have a different layout that includes a "Show more"/"Show less" toggle. This allows us to add the following to our catalog controller: ``` config.add_show_field 'contents_display', label: 'Contents', layout_component: DisplayMoreFieldLayoutComponent ```

Non-blocking question: I think the spec serves as good documentation, but I'm wondering if there's somewhere else we can document this? I can see lots of folks wanting to use this but having a hard time parsing exactly what their controller should look like - could we put something in maybe the catalog controller or similar to make this more visible?
