Webpack UMD build available

[benwiley4000]

This change adds a webpack build configuration which will create a UMD module of json2csv in the dist/ directory. It's ignored by git, but isn't ignored by npm, so it will be available when downloaded via npm.

I've updated the README as well.

Now dist/json2csv.js can be included with an HTML script tag, if the user is unable to work with javascript modules. All dependencies are included. I don't like this that much, but I'm in a situation where adding webpack or another module packer to the project I'm working on would mean a ton of refactoring. And no other JSON -> CSV String package I've found (that isn't module-only) will let me specify a field order.

NOTE: If this is going to be distributed via npm, it's important that npm run build is run before every release, or dist/json2csv.js will be unavailable or out-of-date.

Could you also add a prepublish script that runs build, so that it isn't forgotten?

Oh yeah that sounds great - forgot you could do that. I'll update soon.

@knownasilya Done. Also, I accidentally wrote earlier that you can use npm build (you actually have to run npm run build) but that's been updated in the README.

Released as 3.6.3, can you test?

@knownasilya Works for me! Thanks.
