Unique component identifier

See original GitHub issue

Both react-async and react-multiplayer need components to have unique identifiers.

In case of react-async — to maintain a mapping from a component to its state and make it serialisable (to send it over the wire, ES6 Map with components as keys can’t be used), in case of react-multiplayer — to have an unique URL per component instance.

Currently both of the libraries use this._rootNodeID + ',' + this._mountDepth. Should this be added to a public API — getComponentID() or something?

2 years after the issue were closed there obviously still demand for a solution and discussion about it. I do not see any reason why the issue should not be reopened.
