Version

Please specify what version of the library you are using: [ 1.7.0 ]

If you are not using the latest release, please update and see if the issue is resolved before submitting an issue.

Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

Peoplepicker enhancement to automatically add selected users when the control is loaded.
defaultSelectedUsers should allow preselected users to be set when the control is loaded.

Observed Behavior

defaultSelectedUsers doesn't work for complex edit data forms because the data fetch takes time and the peoplepicker component is loaded by then.
Fix - Move the selectedUsers setup step from ComponentWillMount to ComponentDidMount.
** Mostly I will pick it up soon, but if someone has an urgent requirement of this, please pick it up

@estruyf , This is implemented now and have submitted the PR. Please check. If this could be implemented in the latest release, some of my contacts here could use the control without a workaround. Thanks.
