bug: React versions <18 fail to compile

[kylemellander]

When installing in a project that using React > 16.8 or React 17, compilation fails when attempting to resolve react/jsx-runtime. The reason for this failure is the pinned version of react-markdown requires React > 18.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I created a simple reproduction of the issue here.
2. run yarn build to see the failure.

Expected behavior

I would expect the JavaScript to compile OR the requirement to be clear that you need to be on React > 18.

Screenshots

Package version

• stream-chat-react: 11.23.3
• stream-chat-css: n/a
• stream-chat-js: n/a

Additional context

I know that it is possible to work around this with configuration of the build process, but this problem ends up bubbling up through all our projects that utilize the library (even indirectly), and it feels janky to have that need for configuration to leak out.
