bug fixed in NodeJS

Node-MB-String-Size

Calculate the length of a string. DEPRECATION WARNING!

The original problem was, that buffer.length would calculate a wrong byte size for certain UTF-8 symbols. This library was implemented to fix the problem by iterating over the string and detecting the multibyte-symbols, yielding a correct byte size.

However, current NodeJS versions correctly calculate the byte size, so this library is obsolete. I cleaned everything up one final time, so if you are still on a very old version of NodeJS (for example < 6), you can use this library to get a correct byte size. I will not maintain it any longer, though, as the problem does not exist anymore.
