A bug in the node_cache.py code resulted in the node_modules symlink
in Zulip development environments being incorrectly owned by root.
This causes that bug to be fixed the next time a user provisions.
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.
test-js-with-node: Move istanbul test coverage to var/node-coverage.
This commit moves js test coverage generated through istanbul to
var/node-coverage.
This reverts commit 3f95e567c1.
Apparently `apt-add-repository` fails periodically in CI. I suspect
this is some sort of silly networking problem, but given that all
we're saving is a few lines of code, the old version was better if
this fails basically ever.
`npm install` fails nondeterministically occasionally, and this makes
such failures likely to be automatically resolved in most cases by
simple retrying.
Factor out the code in tools/provision.py which installs a python2
and python3 venv into a module (tools/setup/setup_venvs.py) which
can also be used as a script.
Twisted is not python 3 compatible. So for now create a python2
venv and install twisted in it when running provision.py in python3
mode and use twisted from the python2 venv.
tools/provision.py: Create directory var/uploads.
zproject/local_settings_template.py: Update Upload dir to var/uploads.
zproject/dev_settings.py: Update upload dir to var/uploads.
The purpose of this is to move a lot of the log and other generated
files used by the Zulip development environment into a consistent
hierarchy.
We also need to create this in tools/build-release-tarball as well,
since that runs a development environment out of a temporary
directory.
When provision.py is run using python 2, retain original behavior
of creating a python 2 venv using requirements/py2_dev.txt and
creating a python 3 venv using requirements/mypy.txt.
When provision.py is run using python 3, install a single python 3
venv with requirements/py3_dev.txt.
