rm spec issues re Object.create(null) & proto

the previous code used the idiom of Object.create(null) to use an object like a hash or cache, and leveraged the prototype chain as a type of cache miss failover. there is some js spec weirdness and changes around node 0.12 surrounding the existence of __proto__ when using Object.create(null).

to eliminate this confusion i've added a function to replace the above so that the semantics are clear and consistent and we aren't using the non-standard __proto__.

also update npm dev deps to latest versions and added a missing jshintrc.
