Update node.js function signature #25
Description
Currently, the signature for Node.js functions is: function (hook).
It would be more clear to users and node.js friendly if the signature was: function(req, res).
The new function signature would actually be backwards compatible, so this wouldn't break any existing services. Update will be required in run-service npm package.
We could also consider function(req, res, next), but implementing next correctly might be non-trivial.

We've got good progress on this in the
service-as-middlewarebranch.It appears we've got working support for
function (req, res, next)signatures to the point where we can chain multiple services together as middlewares.I've checked in some examples in
service-as-middlewarefor putting abasicAuthservice behind others services.Should be merged into
masterafter more testing downstream in hook.io.
