npm Funding Metadata point users to your offer page

npm version 6.13.0 added an npm fund subcommand for listing funding information about dependencies. To leverage that feature for your L0 npm package, edit package.json to add a funding property:

{
  "funding": {
    "type": "License Zero",
    "url": "https://licensezero.com/offers/562c0ffe-df98-4348-87b7-e60e3c37c534"
  }
}

users will see a count of packages within funding metadata when they run npm install, as well as a prompt to run npm fund.
