Title: [FEATURE] Provide start and stop commands for formulae.

Foreground processes:

brew start redis # to start it
^C # to stop it

Background processes:

brew start postgresql # to start it
brew stop postgresql # to stop it

I've just modified `redis` and `postgresql` formulae as proof of concept. If you agree with this proposal, I can manage to adapt all of them.
