What:
This PR allows users to

  1. Omit lazy-loading completely, no need for additional dependencies
  2. Provide any visibility observer

Why:
The main thing this PR achieves isn't much different than #51 I would say the only differences are:

  1. It's easier to omit the observer (no need to provide a mock for onEnter to make all images visible)
  2. It provides a few additional ways of defining an observer, especially because it seems many people like the child render prop pattern
  3. It fixes a potential bug in onEnter

How:
Depending on what the user provides, in order:

It's important for this to be callback otherwise this.load could have stale state (I encountered this with url being undefined)

I started working on this PR mainly because I needed to provide scrollableAncestor="window". Lazy-loading didn't work at all without this. I'm guessing it's either due to SSR or overflow: auto in a parent, both common scenarios.

It is not because of SSR (SSR should be properly handled)

I don't want to overcomplicate already complex component, rather I would search a way to separate existing component into compassable subcomponents to be able to construct out of it what you want. For example, you do not observer - simply do not use observer subcomponent. This was my initial idea, but it was hard and I decided to construct one big component for the demo and handle this idea latter.

Maybe try approach similar to state-containers.
