Remove support for `service whisper on/off` because Whisper cannot be started without first disabling it in the communications config, then restarting Embark.
Add documentation for the `service [process] on/off` command
This command was only added a few commits back so it is not considered a breaking change.
Refactor the `service [process] on/off` commands so that there is only one command. Previously we had a command registered for each process, ie:
```
service blockchain on/off
service ipfs on/off
…
```
Now, we only have one command with many options:
```
service [process] on/off - Starts/stops the process. Options: blockchain, embark, ipfs, api
```
Whisper is deliberately not included in the available options for the aforementioned reasons.
This enables removing unnecessary `core/fs` dependencies which can be
replaced with `fs-extra`.
This commit also fixes a bug introduced in f868d1216d
where methods from `embark.fs` weren't available.
The reason for that is because we have several *Process instances
that are created through child process communication, specifically
process.send() APIs. Using those APIs, we can only send data structures
however, methods attached on any of those will get lost.
This is the case when sending embark.fs through process.send().
We still need fs in those places though, mostly because they are relying
on embarkPath and dappPath().
These places are now importing those functions from `embark-core`. Other
API such as writeFile or mkdirp() can be accessed through fs-extra
or fs modules.
This avoids mistakenly placing process event handlers on the parent process
whenever the `embark-core` package is loaded. Also, don't listen for an
`'exit'` event on `process` and then call `process.exit(0)` since the event "is
emitted after the child process ends" ([docs][docs]), i.e. it's unnecessary to
do so and in any case it's not correct to always exit with code `0`.

Add support for ability to start and stop IPFS via command `service ipfs on/off`.
Add support for `ProcessState.Errored` process state in the `ProcessManager`. This allows for processes being launched and stopped to trigger an error and the resulting process will be in an errored state. Processes in errored states can still attempt to be started and stopped.
`service ipfs on` - starts an IPFS node if not already started. Shows an error if the node is already starting or started.
`service ipfs off` - kills the running IPFS node as long as Embark has started the IPFS process. If the IPFS process was started externally, an error is shown.
return early
If a package uses only `.js` then supply `--extensions ".js"`. If a package
uses only `.ts` then supply `--extensions ".ts"`. If a package uses both, then
supply `--extensions ".js,.ts"`.
The reason for this is that adding/removing TS/JS support ought to occasion
revising a package's `package.json` file and adjusting other scripts as well,
e.g. for linting. With these changes, it won't work to simply start adding
`.ts` files in a package's `src/` directory, which should prompt the developer
to review `package.json` and make the appropriate changes, and/or other
developers may realize changes need to be made during code review.
