/**
The `ViewOnGithubButton` displays a button whenever there's a relevant
Github asset to link to.

When creating this React component the first consideration was when &
where we'd be rendered. The next consideration was what data we need to
display.

Unlike a traditional React application, N1 components have very few
guarantees on who will render them and where they will be rendered. In our
`lib/main.cjsx` file we registered this component with our
{ComponentRegistry} for the `"ThreadActionsToolbarButton"` role. That means that
whenever the "ThreadActionsToolbarButton" region gets rendered, we'll render
everything registered with that area. Other buttons, such as "Archive" and
the "Change Label" button are reigstered with that role, so we should
expect ourselves to showup alongside them.

The only data we need is a single relevant to Github. If we have one,
we'll open it up in a browser. If we don't have one, we'll hide the
component.

Getting that url takes a bit of message parsing. We need to retrieve a
message body then implement some kind of regex to find and parse out that
link.

We could have put all of that logic in this React Component, but that's
not what React components should be doing. In N1 a component's only job is
to display known data and be the first responders to user interaction.

We instead create a {GithubStore} to handle the fetching and preparation
of the data. See that file's documentation for more on how that works.

As far as this component is concerned, there will be an entity called
`GitHubStore` that will expose the correct `link`. That store will then
notify us when the `link` changes so we can update our state.

Once we know our `link` our `render` method can simply be a description of
how we want to display that link. In this case we're going to make a
simple button with a GitHub logo in it.

We'll also display nothing if there is no link.
