disable server side rendering for a react component [hacky]

disableSSR.js

/*

A react higher order component (HOC) for disabling server side rendering (SSR) for a particular component.
Useful if a particular library / page doesn't support SSR and you 
a) dont want to mess around with the server routing to handle it 
b) dont want to the component to even be constructed on the server
c) dont want to modify the component's methods to handle loading the library on the client 
(for example, you need to use window/client methods in the constructor)

DISCLAIMER: this is hacky, and will throw a console warning (in development) that the checksum is invalid (which means server & client rendering dont agree on HTML string)
It will also discard the server side rendering for this route
