Enable Installation via `cargo install` #3

Would it be possible to enable installation of the binary via cargo install ...?

❯ cargo install mozlz4

error: there is nothing to install in `mozlz4 v0.3.1`, because it has no binaries
`cargo install` is only for installing programs, and can't be used with libraries.
To use a library crate, add it as a dependency in a Cargo project instead.

mozlz4 in crates.io is a downstream fork, written as a library crate, that isn't maintained by me.

This project can be installed by running cargo install --path . in the project directory.
