/**
 * Custom binding to make it easy to insert a React component.
 * Mounts the react component and renders when needed.
 *
 * Usage:
 * 1) Implement ReactAdapter:
 *  parameters: pass any parameters including Knockout Observable's.
 *  render(): render your ReactComponent here.
 *
 * 2) In the markup, add this:
 * <div data-bind="react:myAdapter"></div>
