Replace Draft.js with Slate.js #67

Slate is in active development, whereas Draft is more or less abandoned.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep this in mind. But since Draft.js currently is accomplishing what react-highlight-within-textarea needs, it is quite popular still, and it doesn't have a slew of CVEs against it, I won't be converting at this time. I will keep an eye out for changes in support levels. Honestly, I'd prefer stability of an "abandoned" app over the instability of an active branch.

I also considered quill, but trying it out, I couldn’t get past the infinite loop problem, this article mentions it is slow for long documents, and the last release is 3 years old. So, maybe slate is the way to go for version 4.0.
