fix(events): fix firing events in document

[tnunes]

What:

Fix firing events in the document element.

Fixes #159, as per @kentcdodds suggestion in #159 (comment).

Why:

Currently firing events in the document element throws a TypeError: Cannot read property 'defaultView' of null when trying to use fireEvent "shortcut API" (not sure this is its name :)):

fireEvent.keyDown(document, { key: 'Escape' })

It was possible to fire events in the document by using fireEvent directly, like so:

fireEvent(document, new KeyboardEvent('keydown', { key: 'Escape' }))

How:

Falling back to node to get defaultView from, when node.ownerDocument is null.

Thanks! When can we expect a new release of react-testing-library with this dependency bumped?

[alexkrolick]

You should be able to do yarn upgrade react-testing-library to immediately get the new version because of the ^ dependency requirement.

@alexkrolick you're right! Thanks again for the quick merge!
