Lifecycle methods and Context API from React 16.3

See original GitHub issue

The official React 16.3 release is still upcoming, but there are several highly anticipated features whose implementation could start now: https://medium.com/@baphemot/whats-new-in-react-16-3-d2c9b7b6193b

Particularly the new Context API, which could be built on top of the existing API for now.

Also important to implement will be static getDerivedStateFromProps, which replaces ~componentDidMount~ componentWillReceiveProps (and is allegedly necessary for async rendering).

@kylealwyn you’re right, my mistake! Well, I thought componentDidMount was faster to type, and maybe no one would notice… 😄

Small edit: static getDerivedStateFromProps will be replacing componentWillReceiveProps, not componentDidMount
