v4.5.6: Improved custom step marker, fixes, and new channel on Discord

Hello community!

With this release we are happy to bring an improved custom step marker feature and some bug fixes.

The custom step marker is no longer "experimental". It has been provided with additional props and params making it more flexible and customizable. All those properties are described in the README and utilized in the example app, so please see those when using this feature for the first time or in case of any doubts. Still, we are open to further improvements or fixes to issues if you encounter any.

There are also changes and fixes done by our engaged community 💪:

• fix: NSInvalidArgumentException when passing accessibilityIncrements (#682)
  by @ckknight
• fix: iOS inverted tap-to-seek in RTL (#677)
  by @AymanHossam
• feat: add component provider field for codegen (#678)
  by @szymonrybczak

as well as some under-the-hood changes and tweaks.

One more announcement is the new Slider's channel on our Callstack's server on Discord. The link can be found in the README, but let me drop it here as well.
Please feel invited to use this channel not only to track the activity or progress of the work on the Slider, but also to reach out in case of any doubts in usage, questions, advises, or if you think you found a bug you would like to confirm or confront with us first.

See you next time! :)

Also:
As you may find out, there are two new props already present in the README that are marked as ☣️ experimental ☣️.
They are related to new feature(s): custom step marker, which is still under some constructions, but it's code is already on the main branch.
Feel free to use it, play with it, experiment with it, but please remember it's still to be polished.
Also, before officially released, this feature could definitely use some issue reports or feedback.

Have a nice day!
