Version 0.8.27

Now emitting a warning on startup for Node v10.0 to v10.8, due to the core timer bug: nodejs/node#22149
Updated timer bug warning in README.
Bumped pixl-server version to 1.0.16 for more verbose startup log entry.

-There is a [known bug in Node.js v10](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/22149) that causes all timers to stop firing after approximately 25 days of continuous running.  Since Cronicle is a scheduler daemon, it relies *completely* on the Node.js timer system, so this is a death sentence.  The bug affects all versions of Node.js v10, from v10.0.0 to v10.9.0.  The bug is marked as fixed and a [PR has landed](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22214) in Git, but it won't be released until Node v10.10 (presumably).  In the meantime, your options are as follows:

Since Cronicle is a scheduler daemon, it relies *completely* on the Node.js timer system, so this is a death sentence.  The bug affects Node.js versions v10.0.0 to v10.8.0.  **The bug is fixed in Node v10.9.0**.  Your options are as follows:
 
-1. Run Cronicle under Node LTS (i.e. Node version 8).  The bug was introduced in Node v10.0.0, so any version of Node prior to that will work fine.
-2. Setup a weekly restart job.  You can do this as an actual Cronicle event using the [Shell Plugin](#built-in-shell-plugin) and [Detached Mode](#detached-mode), or just add a crontab to your server(s) like this:

-Once an official fix is released (presumably in Node v10.10), I will have Cronicle emit a warning if it is started up on any affected version of Node.  For more information on this ongoing situation, see [Issue #108](https://github.com/jhuckaby/Cronicle/issues/108).
