Consider moving paths into a separate module

We should consider moving path.js into a separate module to be update in one place and used where we need it

Because here is how the following dependency tree looks like:

lib	depends on path
dext	✓
dext-core-utils	✓
dext-cli	✓

lib	depends on dext-core-utils
dext	╳
dext-cli	✓

lib	depends on dext-cli
dext	╳
dext-core-utils	╳

---

Alternative

Another option is remove path from dext and have dext-core-utils as a dependency even on production build

pass outputDir to functions

• downloadPackage() should take an outputDir parameter
• install should take an outputDir parameter
• uninstall should take an outputDir parameter

Reference develop branch in travis-badge in README

Add method to link/unlink a plugin directory

Create a method that would create or remove a symlink in the current working directory to the PLUGIN_PATH.

In essence, this utility would be used by vutran/dext-cli#7

Build with yarn

Considering adding support for yarn cause this thing is ridiculous fast! We'll need to commit the generated yarn.lock file as well as updating documentations for installing with yarn.
