Title: Expose getRowFromNode externally 

I was using slickgrid 2.0a for quite a while and updated to version 2.1 recently. I have noticed that there is no easy way now to access a data item by just having a DOM node. I used to be able to do this by reading the "row" attribute off of the slick-row, however that does not exist in the latest version. getRowFromNode handles this well and exposing it will be of great benefit.

it will allow
* easy extension when using an external library that wraps around slickgrid
