Your view controller can override this method when it needs to know that it has been added to a container.
If you are implementing your own container view controller, it must call the willMove(toParent:) method of the child view controller before calling the removeFromParent() method, passing in a parent value of nil.
When your custom container calls the addChild(_:) method, it automatically calls the willMove(toParent:) method of the view controller to be added as a child before adding it.
