(Most of this work was done by acrefoot in an earlier branch.
I took over the branch to fix casper tests that were broken during
the upgrade (which were fixed in a different commit). I also
made most of the changes to run-casper.)
This also upgrades phantomjs to 2.1.7.
The huge structural change here is that we no longer vendor casperjs
or download phantomjs with our own script. Instead, we just use
casperjs and phantomjs from npm, via package.json.
Another thing that we do now is run casperjs tests individually, so
that we don't get strange test flakes from test interactions. (Tests
can still influence each other in terms of changing data, since we
don't yet have code to clear the test database in between tests.)
A lot of this diff is just removing files and obsolete configurations.
The main new piece is in package.json, which causes npm to install the
new version.
Also, run-casper now runs files individually, as mentioned above.
We had vendored casperjs in the past. I didn't bring over any of our
changes. Some of the changes were performance-related (primarily
5fd58cf249), so the upgraded version may
be slower in some instances. (I didn't do much measurement of that,
since most of our slowness when running tests is about the setup
environment, not casper itself.) Any bug fixes that we may have
implemented in the past were either magically fixed by changes to
casper itself or by improvements we have made in the tests themselves
over the years.
Tim tested the Casper suite on his machine and running the full Casper
test suite is faster than it was before this change (1m30 vs. 1m50),
so we're at least not regressing overall performance.
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 reverts commit be93b6ea28.
Unfortunately, the newer jquery comes with a huge performance
regression affecting the hotkeys code, which has the effect of making
typing super slow.
Fixes: #1449.
`tools/test-js-with-node cover` needs istanbul to be installed in
order to work; we might as well install it by default rather than
having it be an extra step users need to deal with.
Of course, since this is only needed in the development environment,
this could suggest we want to fork/conditionalize package.json, but I
think for now it's reasonable to just install everything we use
somewhere -- the npm list is still pretty short and we have that issue
anyway with webpack-dev-server.
The node packages 'jQuery' and 'jquery' are different--'jQuery' is the
legacy support package that is needed for Zulip so the require statements
in the tests were updated.
Travis uses node 4.0 by default and we are using 0.10, so the command to
install the correct version had to be added to the .travis.yml file.
