Custom design_layout_snackbar_include.xml layout file overrides standard library version and breaks its usage

[c0state]

The version of design_layout_snackbar_include.xml in this library contains <merge> as the root tag which breaks the core Snackbar.make() function (for example, when used directly or indirectly through other 3rd party libraries) with the following error:
<merge /> can be used only with a valid ViewGroup root and attachToRoot=true

The latest version of design_layout_snackbar_include.xml in the android.support.design library (25.1.0) is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        android:visibility="gone"

        style="?attr/borderlessButtonStyle"/>

</view>

Is it necessary to provide a custom version of this layout in this project, and if so, is the fix simply to change the root to a <view> as in the core library?

Thx for ur pr :-)

[c0state]

For reference, this site--http://www.materialdoc.com/snackbar/--provides an example of customizing the Snackbar layout. I'll try to provide a PR with this implementation.
