[Haskell-cafe] ECMA262 (Javascript) interpreter

The package is available on hackage. I think its a good idea to split the
cli into a separate package, ecma262-cli. I will update the documentation
in the next version.

If anyone would like to help me implement all the spec functions we could
release a version 1 soon.
