/**
 * Install all express middleware required by LoopBack.
 *
 * It is possible to inject your own middleware by listening on one of the
 * following events:
 *
 *  - `middleware:preprocessors` is emitted after all other
 *    request-preprocessing middleware was installed, but before any
 *    request-handling middleware is configured.
 *
 *    Usage:
 *    ```js
 *    app.once('middleware:preprocessors', function() {
 *      app.use(loopback.limit('5.5mb'))
 *    });
 *    ```
 *  - `middleware:handlers` is emitted when it's time to add your custom
 *    request-handling middleware. Note that you should not install any
 *    express routes at this point (express routes are discussed later).
 *
 *    Usage:
 *    ```js
 *    app.once('middleware:handlers', function() {
 *      app.use('/admin', adminExpressApp);
 *      app.use('/custom', function(req, res, next) {
 *        res.send(200, { url: req.url });
 *      });
 *    });
 *    ```
 *  - `middleware:error-loggers` is emitted at the end, before the loopback
 *    error handling middleware is installed. This is the point where you
 *    can install your own middleware to log errors.
 *
 *    Notes:
 *     - The middleware function must take four parameters, otherwise it won't
 *       be called by express.
 *
 *     - It should also call `next(err)` to let the loopback error handler convert
 *       the error to an HTTP error response.
 *
 *    Usage:
 *    ```js
 *    var bunyan = require('bunyan');
 *    var log = bunyan.createLogger({name: "myapp"});
 *    app.once('middleware:error-loggers', function() {
 *      app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
 *        log.error(err);
 *        next(err);
 *      });
 *    });
 *    ```
 *
 * Express routes should be added after `installMiddleware` was called.
 * This way the express router middleware is injected at the right place in the
 * middleware chain. If you add an express route before calling this function,
 * bad things will happen: Express will automatically add the router
 * middleware and since we haven't added request-preprocessing middleware like
 * cookie & body parser yet, your route handlers will receive raw unprocessed
 * requests.
 *
 * This is the correct order in which to call `app` methods:
 * ```js
 * app.boot(__dirname); // optional
 *
 * app.installMiddleware();
 *
 * // [register your express routes here]
 *
 * app.listen();
