Generate a random credit card number. This card number will pass the
[Luhn algorithm][Luhn] so it looks like a legit card.

```js
chance.cc();
=> '6304038511073827'
```

Optionally specify a particular type of card to return:

```js
chance.cc({type: 'Mastercard'});
=> '5171206237468496'
```

The type can be specified by the long name, or by the short name:

```js
chance.cc({type: 'mc'});
=> '5103820202214116'
```
