Title: Externalize dependencies with a UMD wrap using the standalone option

DEPENDENCY: https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/umd/pull/19

This adds the ability to externalize dependencies using the standalone option

```js
var bundleStream = browserify('./index.js', {
standalone: {
name: 'my-module',
amd: { deps: ['underscore'] }
}
})
.exclude('underscore')
.bundle();
```

Note that I am unaware of how active https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/umd is, nor can I guarantee how that PR will go. That said, I think this is an important behavior with the possibility to resolve some browserify issues.
