THRIFT-3485 don't publish extra files to npm
The thrift npm package is as big as all of our other node dependencies
combined. It currently publishes the entire thrift repository, which is ~30mb
right now. As far as I can tell, it only requires lib/nodejs, which is 376k.
I propose adding an .npmignore file. You can more info in the npm
documentation:
https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/developers#keeping-files-out-of-your-package
If the package only requires lib/nodejs, we should be able to add an entry
to the npmignore file for every folder (including lib), and then a negated
entry for lib/nodejs. We'll also want to include everything from gitignore,
because npm will no longer use that once an npmignore file is added.
I've tested this using the method recommended in the npmjs documented,
basically installing the package globally and making sure it still requires
successfully:
```
$ npm install -g .
$ node
> var thrift = require('thrift');
undefined
```
