Description
Getting hold of a file relative to the current module in a generic way involves doing some nasty regexen on module.uri.
So lets give a nicer way to do this:
module.resource(name[, mode[, permissions]]) -> io.Stream module.resource.resolve(name) -> String
This has been hinted at a number of times in CommonJS, but hasn't yet been even proposed. I want it, so I'm JFDingIt.

core/modules: Implement module.resource (closes #177)
While I was in there I fixed a few odities with when require.main.id was set, specifically it is now always set, even for simple repls.

Kris Kowal suggested on irc the following API:
module.resource(id) -> fs.Path
which would be our .resolve as above, and then module.resource(id).open() would our resource. But we dont yet have Path objects, so this can happen latter :)
