Modified UTF-8 (MUTF-8) #42

Tonight, we (Minecraft Manipulator) were discussing the NBT spec's use of the Java version of UTF-8, which is called MUTF-8, or Modified UTF-8. I have been meaning to look into the details about this and how it relates to NBT, so I'm glad that it came up in conversation again!

Found this JS implementation, which I will try to use for inspiration to add support for the format in NBTify, as it is inherent that strings will serialize correctly in the same fashion to how they do in the base game as well.

I think we're nearly there! I'm leaning towards getting used to adding dependencies to the project, I haven't done that for modules I share yet. It was new initially to do that with my apps, but now I think I'm going to start doing it with my npm packages too.
