feat(id): allow hidden option

[d4rekanguok]

close #38

It's not possible to hide a widget completely, as it doesn't control the styling of its label & its wrapper.

This is a hack: I'm literally accessing the widget's parent DOM node on mount & adding display: none to it. It'll definitely break if NetlifyCMS's control pane's structure changes. Also, it's just not good practice!

However.. (a) this is a much desirable feature and (b) this widget has always meant to be an in-between solution while NetlifyCMS comes up with its own ID solution, so I think it's reasonable to allow users to opt-in via hidden: true with a warning.

I can't believe the NetlifyCMS community did not think about a unique id generator from the very beginning while developing the relation widget. In most cases you do not have a natural primary key for a folder collection resembling an SQL table and you don't even have a composite key as well. In all these cases you need a synthetic unique id (the infamous auto-increment in DB parlance) and you're perfectly right: they need to add their own ID solution to be used instead of the default title one. So go ahead and thanks so much.

Thanks @magomimmo, I agree an auto-generated permanent id for each entry would had been great. There's much discussion about this in this issue (with concern similar to yours): decaporg/decap-cms#1975. Hope things would move forward soon!
