rename package because is already taken on NPM

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

i was losing a lot of time in order to use r2 because i was getting a lot of problems. as @thechriswalker has noted, the r2 package on NPM is another one and so it creates confusion.

imho it’s better if we find another name for this package that is free on NPM.

The package is not active, I’ve emailed the author and npm asking for a transfer.

@mikeal I’m curious, why not just make this request v3 ? semver will prevent this from breaking stuff, and we get to keep the same great original module name.
