query-string dependency should not be a peerDependency

Addressed via #33 by throwing an exception when the wrong version is present. Available in v1.2.3

Hey @pbeshai, would you mind explaining your rationale for throwing an exception instead of setting query-string to be a dependency? If this library needs query-string to function, then it should be added to its dependencies. If it doesn't, why is it listed as a peerDependency and/or why would you throw an exception?

I'm not quite sure I understand why the responsibility of installing this supporting library is pushed to the consumers.

Appreciate your work. 🙏

Hey, thank you for a very politely worded question! The reason why it's a peer dependency and not a direct dependency is that historically some people needed v5 to support older browsers, while some people wanted v6 to work with newer features. I couldn't get the "you choose your version" to work while listing it as a direct dependency, so I let people choose. I do hope in a new version to make this more obvious / use something like the built-in URLSearchParams as a default, but I need to investigate it more still.
