add browser testing to travis

grunt test already builds the files necessary to run the unit tests. The explicit build is necessary only so that the packaged files can be POSTed to zpao's server from the Travis scrip.

[subtleGradient]

Perhaps unit should be renamed to travis:unit or something then?
Either way the same stuff is happening in the same order.

The reason I want to change this is so that I can add more matrix entries without complicating the travis script.

[sophiebits]

I mean, you could do that but I don't see the advantage over having the logic contained to .travis.yml.

[sophiebits]

Maybe the best solution here is to have three test types: build, test, lint. Then we can run grunt $TEST_TYPE always, and after_script can check for build, which makes more sense anyway.

Currently I have each version of IE separated out as a separate matrix and they are setup to be allowed to fail. Once we fix all the broken tests for each browser we can remove it from being allowed to fail and move it to the unit phase. That way the we won't regress browser support.

The problem with travis matrix is that nothing is kept between builds. Ideally we wouldn't go through npm install more than once, for example. For now this works though.

cc @zpao — As you wish.

not sure it's necessary to leave these comments -- we can move stuff over from the failing matrix when they pass

[subtleGradient]

I like that it makes me feel uneasy. We shouldn't feel comfortable with leaving it this way.

I'll just leave this here: #633

[subtleGradient]

Blargh, flaky tests: #634

[subtleGradient]

#635 should help the webdriver tests be less flaky

[subtleGradient]

Rebased with master

[subtleGradient]

#635 should be merged before this one

Can you put these into a config file. This file is pretty noisy already.
