Version v1.4.0 Beta 2 (#100)

* fix using with yarn - `.npmignore` file removed so that `.yarn.lock` file will not be included in npm release (only files listed in package file `files` property)
* `pushWithMeta`, `setWithMeta`, and `updateWithMeta` methods added - write to firebase with createdAt/updatedAt and createdBy/updatedBy
