nodejitsu/haibu — Issue #79: Establish parity with NPM `package.json` scripts.start

Right now, for apps on haibu, we specify `scripts.start` without the node binary name.

This is problematic because `npm` has a start command, which pipes all output to `sh` by default. This means that the `node` binary is required in the string.

For instance:

```
"scripts": {
"start": "./bin/server"
},
```
*fails in npm* , *works in haibu*

```
"scripts": {
"start": "node ./bin/server"
},
```
*works in npm*, *fails in haibu*

It would be nice to have parity in these formats. We could then re-use commands like `npm start` for any application. This is useful when helping isolate issues with users.
