change service#Start to return just error (Refs #45)
```
@melekes
yeah, bool is superfluous
@ethanfrey
If I remember correctly when I was writing test code, if I call Start() on a Service that is already running, it returns (false, nil). Only if I try to legitimately start it, but it fails in startup do I get an error.
The distinction is quite important to make it safe for reentrant calls. The other approach would be to have a special error type like ErrAlreadyStarted, then check for that in your code explicitly. Kind of like if I make a db call in gorm, and get an error, I check if it is a RecordNotFound error, or whether there was a real error with the db query.
@melekes
Ah, I see. Thanks. I must say I like ErrAlreadyStarted approach more (not just in Golang)
