Make a tool to save and restore engine state from folder/file #232

This entails three features:

(manditory) copy the relevant node folders and \ to a local folder
(optional) compress that into a file
(manditory) restore the relevant node folders and restore \

This could be useful for #1 and #119.

~Concerns:~

~restore without overwriting anything~
~saving is different per OS and for git-cloned engines~

Let's limit the tool (a portable script) to locally installed engines and git cloned engines. How npm installs depends on OS family, but it can be queried to find out where they are for any user's configuration.
