Title: Add file:// support

I wanted to be able to ``npm install file:///Users/gregp/code/connect`` and use a similar construction in my ``package.json``.

This patch assumes that the cache.js addLocal function (https://github.com/gregrperkins/npm/blob/master/lib/cache.js#L629-664) will handle unixy paths properly on windows.
