Some bundlers including Browserify[1] and Parcel[2] use the browser field in package.json to ignore modules (using browser-resolve[3]) that do not work well with browsers.
In our case this is the zuliprc related module, fs-readfile-promise.
This commit adds a browser field with fs-readfile-promise set to false to the package.json, so that clients that are bundled with Browserify or Parcel can use zulip-js out of the box.
