Add simple Makefile to build and install exa

Browse Source 
This patch adds a Makefile that will build and install exa along with
its recently added manual page. This provides a little bit of a nicer
installation path while we wait for Cargo to, hopefully, provide its own
built-in installation method for packages that contain binaries.

## Installation
exa is written in [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org). You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple `cargo build --release` will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa as `target/release/exa`.

exa depends on [libgit2](https://github.com/alexcrichton/git2-rs) for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing `--no-default-features` to Cargo.
