`npx @zigc/cli version` Zig Compiler distributed via NPM

Showcase
1

When building Ziex, I needed something to make it possible for web developers to bootstrap Ziex and Zig with their existing tooling (npx/bunx), and also in order to make Ziex deployable to Vercel/Cloudflare through their easy CI/CD deployment process, which only supports running Node Package Managers. I needed a way to run Zig compiler through those package managers. There were a few existing ones, but most of them are outdated and not maintained anymore. So published this on NPM.
