The CLI doesn't allow entering friendly name

[scottdallamura]

This is a known issue with node 4.x. One workaround is to use 0.12.7.

Subject: [tfs-cli] The CLI doesn't allow entering friendly name (#47)

Using latest version of the CLI and trying to create a new build task.
When entering the short name for the task, the CLI skips the friendly name, then complains the friendly name is missing.

Thank you works in Node 0.12.7.

The build task upload fails in this version though...

Uninstall and reinstall did the trick, version 0.12 works fine, however still fails in version 4 with the error message on friendly name not specified.

This should be fixed/worked around with latest client pushed (0.3.x)
