Document Support for Esbuild

Rails 7 seems to be moving away from webpack(er), with multiple options to bundle JS with the new js-bundling gem (e.g. with ESbuild etc.).

As such, in order to future proof the project, it might make sense to add support/documentation for JS bundling solutions other than webpack.

Notably, require.context() is webpack specific. I have managed to work around this by providing a mapping manually with ESbuild:

var ReactRailsUJS = require('react_ujs');
ReactRailsUJS.useContext({
  Table: require('./components/Table'),
});

As such, simply removing require.context() meant that I was able to successfully use react-rails with ESbuild.

This took quite some time to work out - as such, it would be useful to document this (or a better solution) somewhere.

this one working fine with me

import components from './react/**/**.tsx';

let componentsContext = {};
components.forEach(component => {
  const name = Object.keys(component)[0];
  componentsContext[name] = component[name];
});

ReactRailsUJS.getConstructor = name => {
  return componentsContext[name];
};
ReactRailsUJS.handleEvent('turbo:load', ReactRailsUJS.handleMount, false);
ReactRailsUJS.handleEvent('turbo:frame-load', ReactRailsUJS.handleMount, false);
ReactRailsUJS.handleEvent('turbo:before-render', ReactRailsUJS.handleUnmount, false);

I made a guide based on @cionescu’s repo. I will try to make a PR with updated generators and README.
