Remove all dependencies

Hi,

Noticing that npm install pulls in 60 MB worth of packages, and finding that a little excessive, I've managed to trim the dependencies down to 0 with the only notable user facing change being the removal of the support check, justified as follows:

The check is fragile, testing against specific terminal versions instead of employing something like terminfo, but also testing environment variables for certain continuous integration services and such.

The plain text output of terminal apps should speak for itself. Even on supported terminals, attributes like colours and URLs may be stripped for many reasons. Hence, either output the full URL, or accept that the link may not be a link.

The xo linter was removed with no replacement. It depends on 469 packages but is of limited benefit for so little source code.

Collides with UNIX/coreutils "link"

While I'm sure this is a great tool, the name is a bit ill chosen. link already exists in most environments, where it's used to create a hard link from an existing directory entry to a new directory entry (calling the link syscall internally).

I'm on Windows and even here this is an issue for most serious developers who have MinGW32/MSys2 aliased from their cmd.
