Deprecate chunked-request

[jonnyreeves]

Appreciate that this library doesn't have many users; however as mentioned in #20, I've taken a very different approach and pulled the guts of this library out into a new package: https://github.com/jonnyreeves/fetch-readablestream/

fetch-readablestream focuses on providing cross-browser support for streaming a response using something resembling the fetch API (note: it does not implement all the methods of fetch - it's specifically just for those of us who need to stream binary data).

Factoring this logic out doesn't leave much for chunked-request to do - infact the current default chunk parser can be re-implemented in a few lines of user code, eg: https://github.com/jonnyreeves/fetch-readablestream/blob/release/v0.1.0/test/integ/util.js -- personally I am tempted to just deprecate this library and eventually remove the library from npm - but I am happy to port it / maintain it if others get use out of the API it exposes.

Thanks for your contributions @MarcusLongmuir @Ruben-Hartog @ariutta and @jimmywarting

I think you're on the right track. Just be aware that NPM doesn't generally allow deleting packages anymore -- you can only deprecate.
