[feature] deprecate getParentElement in favor of a local element.

This patch will give us the ability to place the modal
in any place in the react tree. Each modal can handle its own
clean up.

Test case was written by @restrry [b9a3415](https://github.com/restrry/react-modal/commit/b9a34155bf37298e99922f77dec8e27292db06d9).

 ### Appended to custom node
 
-You can choose an element for the modal to be appended to, rather than using
-body tag. To do this, provide a function to `parentSelector` prop that return
-the element to be used.
-
-```jsx
-
-function getParent() {
-  return document.querySelector('#root');
-}
-
-<Modal
-  ...
-  parentSelector={getParent}
-  ...
->
-  <p>Modal Content.</p>
-</Modal>
-```
+`parentSelector` is now deprecated. `<Modal />` can be appended on any place
+and it will correctly manage it's clean up.
