node crashes a lot when mongolabs has issues. #15

I noticed node crashes a fair amount. My Linux instance crashes when I lose connectivity to mongolabs. Mongolabs went down a lot during this whole heartbleed scare. So I now have node or nightscout set to auto restart when it crashes using forever. I think we should add forever into the package.json and make it a part of nightscout. Just something to consider. Although it might be a pain when developing. I tested it on Linux and windows and it works. Here is my wiki entry on how to install it. https://github.com/rnpenguin/cgm-remote-monitor/wiki/RESTART-NODE-AUTOMATICALLY

Forever is an option, but there really should be some more robust error handling, please create a separate issue for this for investigation. Also, using a service like Azure or Heroku restarts it for you automatically when it crashes.
