Also add symlinks from the old `bin/` and `tests/` locations to avoid
breaking scripts and other tools.
Motivations:
* Scripts and tests no longer have to do dubious things like:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
to access packages installed as dependencies in
`src/package.json`.
* Plugins can access the backend test helper library in a non-hacky
way:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/tests/backend/common')
* We can delete the top-level `package.json` without breaking our
ability to lint the files in `bin/` and `tests/`.
Deleting the top-level `package.json` has downsides: It will cause
`npm` to print warnings whenever plugins are installed, npm will
no longer be able to enforce a plugin's peer dependency on
ep_etherpad-lite, and npm will keep deleting the
`node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite` symlink that points to `../src`.
But there are significant upsides to deleting the top-level
`package.json`: It will drastically speed up plugin installation
because `npm` doesn't have to recursively walk the dependencies in
`src/package.json`. Also, deleting the top-level `package.json`
avoids npm's horrible dependency hoisting behavior (where it moves
stuff from `src/node_modules/` to the top-level `node_modules/`
directory). Dependency hoisting causes numerous mysterious
problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm
update`. Dependency hoisting also breaks plugins that do:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
* bugfix, lint and refactor all bin scripts
* for squash: throw Error(message) rather than log(message); throw Error()
* for squash: Exit non-0 on unhandled Promise rejection
Many of the recent lint changes have converted normal functions to
async functions, and an error thrown in an async function does not
cause Node.js to exit by default.
* for squash: fix `require()` paths
* for squash: remove erroneous `Object.keys()` call
* for squash: fix missing `continue` statements
* for squash: Fix HTTP method for deleteSession
* for squash: delete erroneous throw
Throw is only for errors, not successful completion.
* for squash: redo migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB.js to fix async bugs
* for squash: fix erroneous use of `for..of`
* for squash: Add line break between statements
* for squash: put closing paren on same line as last arg
* for squash: Move `log()` back up where it was
to minimize the diff to develop
* for squash: indentation fixes
* for squash: typo fix
* for squash: wrap long lines
* for squash: use `util.callbackify` to silence promise/no-callback-in-promise warning
* for squash: use double quotes to improve readability
