Bug: Cannot update slate state externally

See original GitHub issue

Description

The PR https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/pull/4540 removed the ability to update the slate state using the value prop. As a result, we cannot inject externally changed state anymore.

If there is another way to update the state externally, then the documentation should be updated as well. https://docs.slatejs.org/walkthroughs/06-saving-to-a-database

It took me several days to find out that changes in #3216 were silently reversed in #4540. It would be great to reflect the changes not only in docs as others say above, but also in API (eg revert value to defaultValue or initialValue) as the value prop implies controlled behavior.

It‘s possible that out there are many others struggling to find out what went wrong (in our case it wasn’t an upgrade going bad — that would make me go for changelists sooner, but documentation being out of date and API pretending that everything is okay).
