Break out ndb-inspect as a npm package

See original GitHub issue

The current repo has an embedded npm package ndb-inspect. Evidently the only source for this package is here inside of this project. This awkward arrangement confuses the folks who review our use of npm modules.

I think the system would be clearer if we went one of two directions:

spin out ndb-inspect as its own project.
remove the npm trappings and just load the js where needed.

Would a Pull Request along one of these lines be considered?

Unfortunately in Node.js it is not possible to require globally installed module. It might be possible only with extending NODE_PATH environment variable [1]. [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15636367/nodejs-require-a-global-module-package
