/**
 * Useful method to split an array into groups of the same number of elements.
 * You can use it to generate grids, rows, pages...
 *
 * If the input length is not a multiple of the count, it'll fill the last
 * array with null so you can display a placeholder.
 *
 * Example:
 *   groupByEveryN([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3)
 *    => [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, null]]
 *
 *   groupByEveryN([1, 2, 3], 2).map(elems => {
 *     return <Row>{elems.map(elem => <Elem>{elem}</Elem>)}</Row>;
 *   })
