Address autocomplete ApiNotActivatedMapError

[adamgerhant]

When using any address autocomplete component in React, I was getting the error "ApiNotActivatedMapError", even though I activated the Maps JavaScript API as stated in the error code description here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#api-not-activated-map-error

Turns out I also needed to enable the places API in order for it to work. I think it would be good for this to be added to the documentation, or even better if a different error could be thrown if the places API is not enabled.
