npm compliant package.json

[milkandsour]

In order to be able to install rapidjson via npm, I added a package.json and an include_dirs.js as a main.

I use rapidjson for my own project and I find very useful to install it from npm, also you will have more visibility if you actually publish the package on the npm repo.

Coverage remained the same at 100.0% when pulling f8df637 on milkandsour:master into c02d52a on miloyip:master.

I have no idea about NPM for C++ library. Is it suitable?

[milkandsour]

Yes it is!
In order to create your own nodejs native extension (addon), you need to
write c++ code and that is because nodejs is written on top of v8, that is
a c++ engine.
Native exension are not so common, but if you seek performance, that is the
way, legacy c++ code also could be the case to go native.
Npm give you the ability to use the install command to compile and install
addons (via node-gyp), or just include it, as I did for rapidjson, via
package.json.
Rapidjson it is the fastest, cause the sax skills, I did not run a
comparison but I think it will kill the v8 JSON native.

Anyway, I do not want to force you, tha was just a pull request shaped
suggestion, I did my own fork and,
in case I will decide to use the library:
I will certainly make the necessary endorsements
I will use it "for Good, not Evil" (cit. license)
