Callbacks do not receive error as the first argument

[mitar]

It is common in node.js callbacks that the first argument is an error, if there is any. Callbacks in this package receive data. This is really confusing.

On the other hand, how does one detect that there was an error when calling a command?

I absolutely agree. We would love to modify the callbacks to do standard node error callbacks, but lots of projects depend on the current API. Our newer npm modules take the error callback approach, for example: https://github.com/octoblu/node-meshblu-http and https://github.com/octoblu/node-meshblu-socket.io

The latter will eventually replace meshblu-npm, but it currently only implements a handful of functions (identity & update)
