 Document a law for TH's Lift class

 Inspired by the discussion in #14296, I've decided to
 document a law which is usually in the back of my mind when I'm using
 Template Haskell's `Lift` class, but isn't formally stated anywhere.
 That is, every `Lift` instance should satisfy (for all `x`):

 ```lang=haskell
 $(lift x) == x
 ```

 Test Plan: Read it
