/**
 * There are some situations where we only want to create a new ref if one is not provided to a component
 * or hook as a prop. However, due to the `rules-of-hooks`, we cannot conditionally make a call to `React.useRef`
 * only in the situations where the ref is not provided as a prop.
 * This hook aims to encapsulate that logic, so the consumer doesn't need to be concerned with violating `rules-of-hooks`.
 * @param providedRef The ref to use - can be a RefObject, RefCallback (functional ref), null or undefined.
 * @type TRef The type of the RefObject which should be created.
 * @returns A RefObject that either uses the provided ref, wraps a functional ref, or creates a new one
