Using again ReactiveCompatible extension on Realm type

[PhilippeCuvillier]

Starting from RxSwift 6.1 version, it is – again – possible to use the somehow standard rx attribute of ReactiveCompatible protocol extension on a non-class type like Realm. (https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift/pull/2285)

This would again allow users of RxRealm to define their custom realm.rx.someCustomMethod() extension methods along with RxRealm ones. Ex:

extension Reactive where Base == Realm {
    func observeOptional<R: Object>(_ type: R.Type, identifier: String) -> Observable<R?> {
        Observable
            .collection(from: base.objects(R.self).filter(NSPredicate(format: "\(R.self.primaryKey()!) == %@", identifier)))
            .map { $0.first }
    }
}

Defining such extension is currently not possible as the ad hoc rx extension of RxRealm has a base attribute with private visibility, which prevents from using it in custom methods outside this pod.

Any update on releasing this PR? Current production code is evading anyone rather than RxRealm to correctly define reactive extensions on Realm. Merging this PR would thus make this library compliant to how rx should be defined or extended.

@freak4pc this is the PR for #174 . It will make this pod/package standard with regards to other Rx extensions.

hmmm for some reason the Release Action has not been triggered.. any idea how the merged PR can appear in the Cocoapod repository or is it just a matter of time?! @freak4pc
