Pass the created HTML node to the preact component #76

Hi!

It would be very helpful if the custom element that is created in the register function also gets passed to the preact component (along with the attributes), so that it's possible to reference the actual DOM element inside of the preact component.

This would provide a clean way to e.g. fire events on the custom element itself, when scoped events are necessary. For example, if a web component uses events to communicate, and multiple instances of the same web component are loaded on the same page. If the events aren't scoped in that case (but e.g. all emitted on the document), it's impossible to figure out which player fired the event.

can't you just use this.base.parentElement after componentDidMount ran? That's what I am doing in my code...
