I'm attempting to make a defacto standard for specifying Chrome App dependency substitutions using the "chromeapp" field in package.json.

The "chromeapp" field is just like the "browser" field in package.json except it's intended for Chrome Apps instead of a generic browser environment. Bundler tools like browserify or webpack can be configured to look for the "chromeapp" field instead of the "browser" field when doing a build for a Chrome App.

In this specific package, since Chrome Apps can use raw sockets we want to replace e.g. require('net') with require('chrome-net').

I'm also sending PRs to all dependent projects that need substitutions to work in Chrome Apps.

I'm attempting to make a defacto standard for specifying Chrome App dependency substitutions using the `"chromeapp"` field in `package.json`.
