Allow CLI "serve" command to serve an arbitrary .js sketch file #4

Removing the need to construct an index.html file lowers the barrier to entry for p5; per @brysonian's suggestions in #1, we should permit p5 serve <some JS file> and auto-construct an HTML file with P5 pre-loaded.

Implementation concept:

Set up an express web server
Serve p5 from within the p5-cli's internal node_modules directory
Serve the specified .js file from whatever directory it is in
Construct an index.html file to load p5, then load their JS
