Building on the really useful change to support output messages from CloudantOutNode, these mods (hopefully) simplify and standardize error handling.
Ensuring that the msg is returned on errors, allow flows to be built that can recover from race conditions / update contention issues.
Key changes:
Revised error handling to ensure all errors are raised via node.error(err, msg)
Revised message handling to ensure the original message is returned un-changed on errors.
Revised CloudantOutNode message output option simplifying to just yes/no, to return the msg, with errors returned via node.error().
updated README.md and 77-cloudant-cf.html doco to reflect changes.
