bundle react-reconciler to avoid peerDeps problem

[jeetiss]

another try to solve react peer dependency problem

I found a way to test it.

npm supports installations from the tar archive, so I bundle a @react-pdf/renderer with those changes to a tar file with npm pack command and install into some new project

• The current master fails with error:

npm i ./react-pdf-renderer-3.0.3.tgz

• When react-reconciler is bundled everything is installed without errors and warnings 🥲

npm i ./react-pdf-renderer-3.0.3.tgz
