Support for node v4 and v5

[justinabrahms]

The README suggests that support for node v4 is coming soon. Nodesource, the folks who release node for ubuntu, don't have a package for nodes before 4.x for the latest ubuntu (15.10) which was released a few weeks ago. (Issue at nodesource/distributions#167)

What's the status of this? What needs to happen? Any chance that this can happen soon?

We have to fix our protagonist dependency, which I am going to work on now. Dredd for v4.x should be out in 2-3 weeks, depends on how much bugs we encounter on the way.

I just checked and protagonist installs fine on node@4.0, but I do not see it as a dependency in package.json. So what exactly is the issue here?

I believe the issue is here

Just to clarify what's missing. We need protagonist to generate JSON Schema and that's the bit I'm now working on, basic stuff is already working, now figuring out the edge cases and darker corners of both, MSON and JSON Schema, specs

Just merged the #309 so it should work on node v4 and v5 not properly tested yet but if somebody wants to give it a shot from master feel free. Travis test will get updated soon to test for those as well. Once that is done and npm package released I will close this one.

Since today we're testing Dredd on both v4 and v5 (see #310) and tests are passing. I think we can consider this to be done and if there are any particular problems found when using these Node.js versions, let's create individual issues for them. Thanks everyone! 🎈

Greatly appreciated! Thanks
