Upcoming updates to this package

Hello everybody!
Thanks to @ascoders I've become a maintainer for this and related repo react-native-image-zoom

I have some free time now to go through issues and provide some fixes/features. I will spend around 2 hours each day working on this project, hopefully bringing it to a better shape by June.

Rough idea for the current major version of this package is:

• Update tooling (e.g. adopt ESLint since TSLint is deprecated, as well as other devX improvements)
• Go through PRs
• Go through Issues looking which ones make sense to implement, address questions, fix bugs, etc.
• Incorporate changelog
• Update documentation
• Maybe make better demo project to test things out + some automated tests

All backwards-compatible changes will be released under 3.1.x version.

After that work is done I'd like to go away from class-based component to functional component + hooks since it is the modern (and the future) way to write React and it is also easier to read and reason about code. Especially for "small" components like this one.
But I'd suggest to leave it for future major release 4.x.x since even though it probably gonna be backwards-compatible it would be a nice way to mark the point in time for this kind of major refactoring step (we might also plug in some non-backwards-compatible stuff at this point too).

Note: since this package depends on react-native-image-zoom I'll spend more time with that one at the beginning.

Let's use this issue as a discussion topic. I will also update this top comment with the progress status.

P.S. I know it sounds like a big update and you want to run npm update react-native-image-zoom-viewer already, but please be patient, since I can't work all day on this some updates can take some time before they reach npm.
