Consolidation of multiple similar libraries

Hi @mysticatea and @k88hudson! Thanks for your hard work with `npm-run-all`! I maintain a similar library - the functionality is slightly different but it shares a lot of common functionality with `npm-run-all`. My library is called [parallelshell](https://github.com/keithamus/parallelshell) - which I maintain with @paulpflug. I am also aware of a few other libraries that attempt to solve the problem of properly parallelising npm (or shell) tasks: - [`concurrently`](https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/concurrently) which is written by @kimmobrunfeldt and has had contributions from @luv2code. - [`shell-executor`](https://github.com/royriojas/shell-executor) which is written by @royriojas. - [`npm-parallel`](https://github.com/spion/npm-parallel) which is written by @spion - [`pkgrun`](https://github.com/reggi/pkgrun) which is written by @reggi We're all trying to reach the same goal - run npm tasks quickly and easily in parallel (and sometimes serially), and have them log & exit in ways you'd expect. For the most part, each of us (I presume) has convergently developed these solutions. While it's great that we're all solving this problem, its bad that we're _all_ solving it... ### The point I think we should combine forces, to make one canonical parallelisation tool. Personally, I see no point in continuing development of both `parallelshell` and `npm-run-all` - we may as well just have one. Having said that, I'm still using `parallelshell` because it solves particular bugs th
