Installation stucks in endless loop

[megastef]

Graygelf depends on microtime, which stucks in an endless loop during package installation with node 8.

See: wadey/node-microtime#55

Would you accept a PR, which removes microtime dependency from graygelf?

I think something like this should work without native dependency:

var hrTime = process.hrtime()
var timestampInMicros = hrTime[0] * 1000000 + hrTime[1] / 1000)

I don't know enough about hrtime to say either way but it would appear this comment still is relevant:

I also run Node 8 and I cannot duplicate your issue:

I also tried with yarn and didn't have any issues so not sure what's going on perhaps something was fixed upstream since I tested?
