Add simple shim so that importing metal-soy does not throw error when importing in Node.js environment

See #264

Hey @Robert-Frampton, for this... we are pretty much working around https://github.com/mairatma/html2incdom, specially because of how it includes HTMLParser, iirc.

I'd like to keep html2incdom under control, moving it to the metal org. With that in mind... does it make sense to keep the existing one? Could we do it in a way that it uses modules properly and doesn't rely on globals? Mabye we could even use a different HTMLParser that we didn't need to maintain...

What do you think?

Hey @jbalsas

I agree that we should be maintaining that functionality. What do you think about adding this API to metal-incremental-dom rather than creating a new package?

[jbalsas]

That sounds lovely, @Robert-Frampton! 😍

I've sent #274 which copies html2incdom into metal-incremental-dom. It also slightly modifies the thirdparty html parser so that it just exports the parser rather than attaching it to the window.

We might be able to replace it altogether with another parser, but I think we should go with this for now to avoid regressions.

I assume #274 superseeds this one, right? Please reopen if we still need to merge this.
