Consider returning instead of exiting when WC/PHP reqs are not met #238

Description

Currently, there is an exit() function when certain requirements are not met in the activation process. See https://github.com/taxjar/taxjar-woocommerce-plugin/blob/master/taxjar-woocommerce.php#L161-L168

This check results in errors when hosts manage the plugins using WP-CLI in conjunction with the --skip-plugins argument. Therefore, the plugin cannot be activated using wp-cli in isolation mode.

e.g.,

> wp plugin activate taxjar-simplified-taxes-for-woocommerce --skip-plugins --skip-themes

<strong>Please activate WooCommerce before activating TaxJar.</strong>%

Expected solution

Consider bailing early with return calls instead of exiting. This part also seems relative: https://github.com/taxjar/taxjar-woocommerce-plugin/blob/master/taxjar-woocommerce.php#L27-L36 but i guess the register_activation_hook() runs independently. If so, TaxJar might need a small refactor to play well with the best practices.
