Summary:
The new UIVisualEffectView should be available for initialization and customization in Storyboards. Additionally, it should be available in the Xcode Objects Library. This would allow developers to drag and drop a UIVisualEffectView (just like any other UIView or UIKit-Element) onto a UIViewController from the Xcode Objects Library. After adding a UIVisualEffectView it should be customizable using the Attributes Inspector (like any other UIView).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached Xcode Project and run it on any simulator or device.
2. A large solid grey box will appear at the bottom of the screen (this is supposed to be a blurred UIVisualEffectView).
3. The code in ViewController.m attempts to setup the UIVisualEffectView which was added to the Storyboard (Main.storyboard).
4. Any attempts to generate a UIVisualEffectView from a Storyboard fail.

Expected Results:
UIVisualEffectViews can be created and customized in Interface Builder / Storyboards. At the very least, they should support Storyboard-initialization (via initWithCoder: or some other system). The optimal solution would be a UIVisualEffectView available in the Xcode Objects Library.

Actual Results:
UIVisualEffectViews can only be created programmatically (in code). They fail to work in any way when added through the interface.
