NodeJS client for NSQ

###
Takes a list and cycles through the elements in the list repeatedly and
in-order. Adding and removing to the list does not perturb the order.

Usage:
  lst = RoundRobinList [1, 2, 3]
  lst.next()                      # Returns [1]
  lst.next 2                      # Returns [2, 3]
  lst.next 2                      # Returns [1, 2]
  lst.add 5
  lst.next 2                      # Retunrs [3, 5]
