updater-contributors: Adding entries to the package.json "contributors" property.

See original GitHub issue

This would be really handy for quickly adding people who contributed to the project, which encourages better citation for them I think. By creating entries in the "contributors" property in the package.json, and perhaps managing a AUTHORS file, or some other citation method.

It would be cool if it could somehow scan the git commits for the authors as well? Not sure if something like that obtainable with this module alone, might need some deps.

Also, following All Contributors would be interesting as well (pretty much just discovered this on my home page).
