new fork, react-dropdown-now

[iambumblehead]

With humble respect to @fraserxu I have published a fork of react-dropdown named react-dropdown-now. The reason for a fork is, this repository seems unmaintained and its sources need updates to remain usable. For example, recent versions of react log noisy messages about react-dropdown's usage of deprecated lifecycle hooks.

I'm interested to further stabilize the forked dropdown and to accept pull requests needed by other users. Small improvements are already found in the react-dropdown-now fork,

• It uses @GuiSchafer's changes to remove the deprecated lifecycle hook ComponentWillReceiveProps
• A unit-testing process is added for testing the component using the ava package (only two simple tests as of writing this)
• Babel and many other packages are updated to the newest version and npm install does not result in audit warnings
• Misc changes, some eslint rules are added and some script commands are simplified so that it is not necessary to globally install packages (easier development)

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something, but I installed this into my react-app and yarn run start no longer worked.
" react-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file "

@travisddraper if you make a little package that demonstrates the problem, I'll take a look to try and resolve it.
