node.js module for spawning phantomas process and getting results

[macbre]

Implement phantomas module for node.js that will expose an API for spawning phantomas process and getting results.

API usage:

var phantomas = require('phantomas'),
  task;

console.log(phantomas.version); // 0.9.0

task = phantomas(url, options, function(err, res) {
  // err: exit code
  // res: parsed JSON or raw data (TAP / CSV / XML)
});

console.log(task.pid); // process ID

// Streams handling
task.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
task.stderr.pipe(process.stderr);

// Events handling
task.on('progress', function(progress) {
  // ...
});

task.on('results', function(results) {
  // raw data (formatted as specified by --format option)
});

task.on('data', function(data) {
  // parsed JSON results (in --format=json)
});

task.on('error', function(err) {
  // ..
});

As suggested in #112

After @43a5720 npm module exposes path property:

{ [Function: phantomas]
  path: '/home/macbre/node_modules/phantomas',
  version: '0.10.1' }
