feat: npm install -g ttyper

[Anush008]

This PR intends to add npm install -g ttyper as an installation strategy for Ttyper. Since NPM is the most used package manager, this would be a valuable addition to the project.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ttyper

Here's how this works:

When npm install is run, NPM executes the install script, i.e. install.js.

The install.js file:

• Downloads the appropriate binary from GitHub releases and moves it to the bin directory.
• Removes the node_modules with the tar and zip libraries, as they are not needed any further.
• NPM symlinks the package name ttyper, to whatever is set as the bin value in the package.json.
• We configure bin to run runner.js, which handles the running of our downloaded binary.

The added npm-release Action job:

• Bumps the version number value in the package.json to be in parity with the release version.
• Copies the README.md from the root dir to be displayed on the package's homepage.
• Publishes the package to NPM.

We can commit the version bump if we need to, but that would be an extra commit.

A successful run of this workflow can be found here.

@max-niederman, I'll move the NPM package to you and you can configure the NPM_ACCESS_TOKEN secret for this repository.

Hey @max-niederman, could you please review when you're available?
Thanks.

First off, I just want to apologize for letting this go unreviewed for so long. I've been really busy lately with college applications and some health issues, but I should now have more time to maintain ttyper.

Anyway, I think there's some issue with this implementation. When I install the npm package and try to run ttyper, I get the following error:

As a minimal reproduction, you can get this error by starting an Alpine linux container, installing the npm package, then running npm install -g ttyper and ttyper. I'm not sure why this happens, exactly, but I suspect this is because it copies the runner file into /usr/local/bin, so trying to get the binary using a path relative to the runner script fails.

Hi @max-niederman. Welcome back. I'll take a look.

Hi @max-niederman. Could you try npm install -g ttyper and ttyper on your device now?
