Add Badge

Node commands to add an overlay badge, inset to the non-transparent area.

As our build systems evolved from static Jenkins to ephemeral GitHub Actions we found our existing libraries for badging mobile apps to be lacking. They depended on host binaries like ImageMagick & RSVG that had to be installed on runners - thus slowing our execution time.

Thus, this package was born as a simple Node package that leveraged the upstream ImageMagick WASM (Web Assembly) library in order to pack all dependencies into a single Node package. This allowed us to run the badging commands in a GitHub Action without needing to install any additional dependencies.

Allowing us to create high quality badged icons to distinguish between different environment builds.

These are wired up into our Fastlane build process for automatic badging of our non-production builds.
