This will make it convenient to in the future install Zulip's
third-party dependencies via node without having to integrate them
with the webpack bundler.
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.
Primarily this makes sure all the log files we generate are ignored.
A good follow-up project to this would be to move all the log files to
a fixed directory so that they're not creating a mess in the main
filespace.
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.
Instead, build them automatically when provision the development
environment and in update-prod-static.

The node tests can write to .test-js-with-node.html now, so that
when you are unit-testing template-related code, you can use
the browser to inspect the output.

To use, make sure your Node installation is up to date and install
istanbul with npm:
sudo npm install -g istanbul # 'sudo' may be optional on OSX
Then run
tools/test-js-with-node cover
and navigate to coverage/lcov-report/js/index.html in a browser.

This needs to be deployed to both staging and prod at the same
off-peak time (and the schema migration run).
At the time it is deployed, we need to make a few changes directly in
the database:
(1) UPDATE django_content_type set app_label='zerver' where app_label='zephyr';
(2) UPDATE south_migrationhistory set app_name='zerver' where app_name='zephyr';

Manual deployment steps: The same Nginx reload as for "Get rid of the
static-access-control mechanism". If deploying both commits at once,
just do it once.

We need this so that we can safely expunge old events without interfering with
the running server. See #414.
