Syntax highlighting for remark-react through lowlight

Usage:

import js from 'highlight.js/lib/languages/javascript';

import githubSchema from 'hast-util-sanitize/lib/github.json';

const schema = Object.assign({}, githubSchema, {
  attributes: Object.assign({}, githubSchema.attributes, {
    code: [
      ...(githubSchema.attributes.code || []),
      'className'
    ]
  })
});

...
{remark().use(reactRenderer, {
  sanitize: schema,
  remarkReactComponents: {
    code: RemarkLowlight({
      js
    })
  }
}).processSync(readme).contents}
...

Notes

• The default santization schema (GitHub's) excludes className, but we want those hljs-* classes for our highlighting! Hence the custom object passed to santization.
• You'll need stylings for the classes that Highlight.js adds. You can choose from a bunch bunch of pre-made stylesheets.
