Update react dependency to allow version 18

[walkerkd]

Currently there is the following dependency in the project.json file:

  "peerDependencies": {
    "boardgame.io": ">=0.42.0",
    "react": "^16 || ^17"
  },

However boardgame.io now works with react version 18 since the 0.50.1.
Is there any reason why this dependency could not be updated to include react 18?

hi - I already created a PR for this, but apparently @delucis does currently not actively maintain this library :(
I am considering a fork at this point, but maybe @delucis will chime in before that

on a side note: even though npm will tell you that the peer dependency is incorrect, you can still use the current version of this library with bgio and react 18 without any issues.

I have been successfully using it with react 18 ... the problem is when I want to update all my dependencies with the command npm update it the fails due to this dependency check. I have worked around it for now but it would be much nicer if the dependency was updated.

I think @delucis was probably the last of the active developers of boardgame.io (at least he was the person who responded with help when I started out with boardgame.io). But there have been no changes for quite some time which suggests to me that the main developers have moved onto other things. Which is a pity because I found this a great framework for writing my board games in.
