Misc #12210: Add IdentitySet class that compares members by identity

----------------------------------------
This subclass of Set handles a use case that we ran into where we needed to track instances of objects that might compare as equal.

I was surprised that there was not a core way to do this. IdentitySet allows you to do the following (trivial example using strings):

~~~ruby
  a_str = "a"
  s = IdentitySet.new([a_str, a_str, "b", "b"])

  p s # => #<IdentitySet: {"a", "b", "b"}>
~~~
