* deprecated old syntax `app.makeSingleInstance(cb)`
* deprecated old syntax of `app.makeSingleInstance() --> bool` in favor

* Fix spec, we don't need process.nextTick hacks any more
* Make deprecation TODO for the return value of makeSingleInstance
* Refactor makeSingleInstance to requestSingleInstanceLock and add appropriate deprecation comments
