fix: Large Dom sizes failing to be drawn correctly into canvas when exporting to PNG (#197)

When context.drawImage is called within the toCanvas method, we are able
to go over the maximum limits of the browser inbuilt canvas object.
When this happens draw commands within context.drawImage are ignored resulting
in missing parts of the image.
See
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/canvas#maximum_canvas_size
for details.
This adds a checkCanvasDimensions function to ensure that the image is
appropriately scaled before being drawn and a susbsequent options.skipAutoScale if a
library user wishes to turn this default functionality off.

+When supplied, the library will skip the process of scaling extra large doms into the canvas object.
+You may experience loss of parts of the image if set to `true` and you are exporting a very large image.
