/**
 * Util that returns an IntersectionObserver if supported by the browser. If
 * it's not supported, it returns a shim object with the methods to prevent JS
 * errors. Notice it's a shim, not a polyfill. If the browser doesn't support
 * IntersectionObserver, the methods returned by this function will do nothing.
 *
 * @param {IntersectionObserverCallback} callback Callback function for the
 *                                                Intersection Observer.
 * @param {object}                       options  Intersection Observer options.
 * @return {object|IntersectionObserver} Intersection Observer if available,
 *                                       otherwise a shim object.
 *
 * @todo Remove IntersectionObserver shim when we drop IE11 support.
