Import utility script for MDN links

[andyearnshaw]

Implements #354. A utility script is provided to update the native links, which can then be committed to the repo. In the future, this could be improved to update the links at compile time so that they are always fresh.

Thanks for your doing! I think that we can make this feature as one npm module.

[andyearnshaw]

Interesting. I don't mind moving the code into an npm package, but how do
you propose it would work? Would it update the native links via an exported
method and cache the result?

I've created a basic NPM package with a couple of methods. How would you like to proceed with utilising this package in YUIDoc?

Cool! This is close to what I was thinking. It looks YUIDoc is able to depends on this and use it. What do you think?

[andyearnshaw]

That's what I was hoping for ;-) I'm just not sure about updating at
compile time. My PR avoided this for now in favour of just using static
data, shall I rework the PR to do this with the npm module?

Aha, doesn't your mdn-links module has static data? if so, it should has the static data.

[okuryu]

getLink() method looks returns static data. This doen't requres any compile time. I'm ok with using this method.

[andyearnshaw]

It does, but it also provides an update method to freshen the data. Once
I'm done at ReactEurope I'll update the PR.

Updated and rebased, should be ready to go.

Thanks! I'll take a look in this week.

It looks good to me. Thanks!
