Added renderProp to enzyme v3.8.0

Extended enzyme with a function which allows testing render props.

Test a Render Prop!

enzyme is a hugely popular library for testing React components. While contracting for Commercetools, me and my teammates found it a bit inconvenient to test render props with enzyme and we had plenty of them after their epic rise in popularity.

My coworker Tobi and I built an extension for enzyme which removes the overhead of testing render props called @commercetools-frontend/enzyme-extensions.

I wrote the "Test a Render Prop!" article as a homage to the hugely popular Use a render prop! article. It is supposed to be the missing testing section of the original.

The developers behind enzyme have since reached out to us and we helped integrate the renderProp test helper of enzyme-extensions into the v3.8.0 release of `enzyme`, which I'm very excited about!
