Support scoped modules

[catdadcode]

Node-red doesn't appear to have the ability to pick up scoped modules installed to $HOME/.node-redwhich are installed with a parent directory named after the module scope (i.e. node_modules/@myscope/my-node instead of just node_modules/my-node). Are there any workarounds for nodes that are published to private registries under a package scope? Would it be possible to modify the lookup code to peek inside any directories beginning with @ and include nodes found in there?

A workaround we used for scoped modules was to have node-red embedded into an express app, then pass the "nodesDir" setting pointing to the installed node_modules/@scope folder, when doing RED.init(server,settings). All the nodes are then installed through the package.json of the express app.

tried out 0.14.0 branch and get TypeError with installed scoped package - package works fine without scope in name of package.json - did I need some more to configure in the package.json?

Ah... you found a deficiency in my testing. Will take another look.

With this commit 9e26aee the 0.14.0 branch should now properly handle scoped modules

very well - Thank you! It works.
