Fix #1433: Updates Google Analytics to GA4 and removes react-ga dependency #1489

Fixes issue #1433

Removes react-ga module and related code; the react-ga module does not support GA4.
Instead, loads google analytics code via page.template
For Google Analytics to activate, the config.analytics entry must be set in config.js to the Google Analytics 4 tag in use such as "G-xxxxxxxxxx". (Might work with the older UA-xxx tags but not sure.)

eg

module.exports = {
    captcha_key: '', /* enter captch key here */
    backend_url: 'http://brcaexchange.org/backend',
    analytics: 'G-xxxxxxxxxx',
    environment: 'production'
};
