Publish npm package for basis trancoder

[lilleyse]

We recently integrated the basis transcoder in CesiumJS while adding support for KHR_texture_basisu. Everything is working great so far.

Now we're starting to pull all our third party libraries from npm and we would be very interested in an npm package for the basis transcoder. There's a package on npm node-basis-wrapper that isn't really usable for us since it ships with just the basisu windows executable and isn't maintained.

@richgel999 is this something you're be interested in? We would be happy to contribute if any code changes are required.

Yes, we're very interested in this. I investigated how to do it myself, but I have no experience creating npm packages. Any help would be awesome.
