updater-files: Adding entries to the package.json "files" property.

[jamen]

I don't imagine this should be something too hard, as it is just an array. you could probably just Array.prototype.push.apply(files, input) or something of the like.

I have never made an update plugin before. I could give it a shot if you want.

@jamen check out normalize-pkg, specifically the files normalizer.

I think some of those things can be split into updaters so they can be used individually (or composed to suit your preferences).

Also updater-package does this for common files like index.js

doh, it's not published lol. I thought I pushed that one up a long time ago. Give me sec

@jamen forgot to update this issue a while back, but updater-package automatically updates the files property.

fwiw @doowb and I have discussed having updaters be more granular, an updater that only updates the files property would still be a great idea. I think the name should probably be something like updater-package-files, so it's clear what it does. If you decide to create this still let us know, I'd love to use it!
