When Reactable is passed a data structure, we want to be able to designate a custom component to render inside each td of a particular column. This is based on a nice feature of react-bootstrap-table. This allows us to avoid using unsafeHTML and handle callbacks/interactivity cleanly.
This could have been handled in columns attribute, by adding an optional component property to each column object. But because of the way columns object disables column inference, this would require devs to build out the entire columns object even if only one column necessitated a component. (Personally, I think it would have been better to make developers filter columns out themselves--that is, keep column infererence but allow inferred columns to be overwritten by configuration in columns object.)
This PR assumes that passing data structure and using the components are mutually exclusive strategies.
