The library uses fs.createReadStream to read files when fromFile
is called and passes through options, including encoding, to the
fs call. This is not obvious, resulting in issue Keyang#402. I have added
a test to demonstrate this capability and a data file encoded in
latin1 for use in the test.

Issue Keyang#402

If using both a .gitignore and .npmignore, npm will favor the .npmignore
and will not reference the .gitignore. This commit copies over missing
entries from the .gitignore into the .npmignore.

Current bundle contains ~7MB in coverage/ - this was already
in the .npmignore though. I'm not sure what the release process looks
like, but it may require further investigation by the maintainers to
fully resolve.
