Add support for clustering

Do you plan on adding clustering to the Compose version of Google Maps? I tried making the switch from AndroidView({ MapView() }) to the new Composable function but struggle to implement the ClusterManager given that I cannot directly reference the map as an input parameter when instantiating the ClusterManager. (… and thank you for giving us this awesome Composable in the first place 🙏)

As @Shusshu pointed out above, PR https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-compose/pull/140 has been merged which adds an experimental MapEffect composable which exposes the GoogleMap object that enables a workaround for clustering support.

See the new MapClusteringActivity in the demo app for a demo: https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-compose/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/google/maps/android/compose/MapClusteringActivity.kt#L28

Note also some of the gotchas documented in the README: https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-compose#obtaining-access-to-the-raw-googlemap-experimental

clustering should be part of the next milestone I don’t know why google is not prioritizing this its such a critical part of performance
