Repository: WP-API/node-wpapi (js)

Issue:
V1.2.0 does not work with React-Native
After updating `wpapi` from `1.1.2` to `1.2.0`, my RN app does not run anymore and the packager throw following error:

```bundling failed: Error: Unable to resolve module `li` from `PROJECT_PATH/node_modules/wpapi/lib/autodiscovery.js`: Module `li` does not exist in the Haste module map```

As packager suggested, I did remove the `node_modules` folder, clean the cache and reinstall node modules and didn't help.
But running `yarn add li` and restarting the packager did help and fixed the issue.
However I don't see such note on this repo.

So either it's a bug in `1.2.0` or the readme file should be updated.

FYI, pretty much the same issue was happening with `url` module with version `1.1.2`. So with every new version of `node-wpapi` some dependencies are missing out of box 😄!

Fix missing module `li`
Fix #414

 # Changelog
 
-## v2.0.0 _Second Toughest in the Infants_
+## v2.0.0 [**alpha**] _Second Toughest in the Infants_
 
-- **BREAKING**: `wpapi` module no longer includes HTTP methods. Install superagent as a peer dependency and `require( 'wpapi/superagent' )` in order to make HTTP requests.
+- **BREAKING**: The module exported as `wpapi` no longer includes HTTP methods. Install `superagent` as a peer dependency and `require( 'wpapi/superagent' )` in order to make HTTP requests.
+- **BREAKING**: Autodiscovery now either succeeds or fails; a WPAPI instance configured with default routes will no longer be returned.
