Title: Add semantic relations to profiles

Added rel-me attributes to the profile links on a profile so that the NPM-author can be tied into peoples identity graphs.

Rel-me is part of the XFN Microformat, http://microformats.org/wiki/xfn, that is widely supported by web pages like GitHub, Twitter, Google+ etc. Rel-me adds semantics to the profile pages so that a crawler can realize that two profiles on two different web pages actually belongs to the same user - something that eg. Google themselves uses in their social search.
