Debugging Hubot

# From https://github.com/github/hubot/issues/648#issuecomment-78796436
The book Automation and Monitoring with Hubot has a section on debugging.
I've just tested that myself, and it seems to work well. Basically, the steps are:
npm install -g node-inspector
node-inspector --no-preload --web-port 8123
Then, we can insert debugger in our code somewhere to setup a breakpoint. Then we run Hubot:
npm install -g coffee-script
coffee --nodejs --debug node_modules/.bin/hubot
Then, we visit http://127.0.0.1:8123/debug?port=5858 in our browser.
