Reduce npm payload size by updating .npmignore

[jwngr]

Thanks for creating a module I used every day! I'm trying to give back in whatever little way I can.

The npm payload delivered from npm install request contains a few files which are not needed for the module to actually work, so I added these things to the .npmignore file. Here is the data for your package before and after this change:

	Including deps	Excluding deps
Current	5,136 KB	276 KB
Updated	5,120 KB	260 KB
Savings	0.31%	5.80%

I got these numbers using du -shk <directory>

The difference between the "Including / Excluding deps" columns is whether or not the node_modules/ directory containing request's dependencies is included.

According to request's npmjs.com page, request has been downloaded 588,799 times in the last day. At 276 KB per download (ignoring request's dependencies), that is 162.5 GB per day for this module alone! With this change, that number drops by 5.80% to 153.1 GB.

In case you want to double check the resulting package, you can do so locally:

# Create a tarball of the resulting package
$ npm pack

# See the file list of that tarball
$ tar -tf request-<version>.tgz
package/package.json
package/README.md
package/LICENSE

package/lib/multipart.js
package/lib/oauth.js
package/lib/querystring.js
package/lib/redirect.js
package/lib/tunnel.js

# Install the tarball as a local node module
$ npm install request-<version>.tgz

According to the docs, this line is not needed as the node_modules directory is excluded by default.
