NVM takes a specific node version and installs the node package and
a corresponding compatible npm package.
We use it in a somewhat hackish way to install node/npm globally with
a pinned version, since that's how we actually want to consume node in
our development environment.
Other details:
- Travis CI now is configured to use the version of node installed by
provision; the easiest way to do this was to sabotage the existing node
installation.
- jsdom is upgraded to a current version, which both requires recent
node and also is required for the tests to pass with recent node.
This fixes running the node tests on Xenial.
Fixes#1498.

This adds support for using VMWare Fusion as the Vagrant provider,
which has better performance than Virtualbox at the price of being
nonfree (in all senses of the term).
We haven't done solid benchmarking as to how much faster it is than
the Virtualbox provider.
This adds support for using PGroonga to back the Zulip full-text
search feature. Because built-in PostgreSQL full text search doesn't
support languages that don't put space between terms such as Japanese,
Chinese and so on. PGroonga supports all languages including Japanese
and Chinese.
Developers will need to re-provision when rebasing past this patch for
the tests to pass, since provision is what installs the PGroonga
package and extension.
PGroonga is enabled by default in development but not in production;
the hope is that after the PGroonga support is tested further, we can
enable it by default.
Fixes#615.
