Parent

The Parent mixin is the lowest object the layout has to interact with.
The layout would typically want to create two separate parents - one for bags, one for bank.
Once created, the Parent serves as the ground layer for the entirety of LibContainer, and it's where the layout starts to adjust preferences and hook into the rest of the mixins with Callbacks.
