Create a standalone exe version of elm-review #136

elm-review is cool (very cool!), but sometimes I don't use it because I don't want to deal with NPM and Node.

There seems to be support for converting an NPM package into a stand-alone executable without any outside dependencies (so no need for the user to install Node for example) https://nodejs.org/api/single-executable-applications.html

Ideally then part of elm-review's CI would be to generate an exe version for Mac, Linux, and Windows that people can download and run from their CLI.

This sounds good to me. If someone wants to take a look, that would be awesome.

Ideally, this would be as low-maintenance as possible, and automated in CI, though that could be done in later steps if needed.
