Issue with the default model api routes

Hi,

We are having an issue with the default model api routes defined in bones/servers/Route.bones.

Problem is when you updating a model, Backbone.sync() on the client side sends the entire model to the server side, and saveModel() saves all of them, and that triggers events for all the model attributes on the server side including those not changed.

One of our developers proposed a solution: Wiredcraft@a7f2d65

But I feel it's weird that loadModel() doesn't actually try to load the model; I think it should.

What do you think?

port bones tests to mocha

This was kind of related to fixing the bones tests, but we were looking into what it would take to port them to mocha.

i spoke to one of the devseed guys, and this is what they were replacing assert.response from expresso with. We're going to need this if we want to port the tests cleanly.

Fix bones tests

The master branch of our fork of bones was upgraded to the latest version of it's dependencies (underscore, express, backbone), and a number of breaking changes were made.

we should get the tests running again properly, although it seems like they have been broken upstream for a while.

The tests are currently using expresso, but if you think it will be easier, port the tests to mocha if you can.

They also make a lot of use of assert.response, so this might be a relevant issue for you to check out.
