Use hooks, support React 18, drop React <16

[goto-bus-stop]

npm install @u-wave/react-youtube@next

This will be version 1.0 of the library. It uses hooks internally instead of a class. It exposes a useYouTube hook so you can attach a player to an element that way. <YouTube /> is a very boring wrapper around that hook. The hook also provides easier access to the player instance.

Breaking changes

• The package now requires React 16 or later.
• The package targets modern browsers, it uses ES2015 syntax. Transpile it if you need broader support.
• showInfo and suggestedQuality props are removed: these were already removed from the YouTube API a few years ago and have had no effect ever since.

Otherwise the API remained exactly the same.

Todo

• Need to make sure the unmount order with the hook API is right, as the YT SDK has some strict expectations about that.
