Add Support for Windows #7

Closed cmd-johnson closed 6 years ago

Currently, the module doesn't work on Windows, missing out on a large user-base. Investigate where to get the battery information on Windows from and implement it.

There is a Win32_Battery class on Windows giving you access to battery info: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394074.aspx. Maybe this could be used for a Windows implementation?

SINce this package's main use probably is in atom-battery-status, adding the Battery Status API provider (#10) finally makes it possible to use this on Windows. The only restriction is that this requires the navigator object to exist, which it only does when runnig inside a browser, so this module still won't work on Windows in node.js.
