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problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm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')
* don't include sendkeys in index.html as it's included in helper.init
mocha opts: add default timeout and replace ignoreLeaks with checkLeaks,
as the former is deprecated
* introduce helper.edit to write to a pad
* add test to check if helper.edit() supports line numbers
* helper tests: waitFor/waitForPromise seem to be a little bit faster sometimes
* tests: refactor chat.js
* tests: refactor timeslider_numeric_padID
* tests: refactor timeslider_labels
* tests: refactor timeslider_follow
* ensure followContents is enabled, although it should be by default
* timeslider_follow: increase number of revision for Edge
* make textLines() depend on linesDiv()

* make linesDiv return standard Array
* use `contain` instead of `indexOf`
* more fixes from the review
* review fixes
* align waitFor and waitForPromise behaviour
* timeslider_follow: check if it's following to the correct lines
* lower expected waitFor/waitForPromise interval check
* disable responsivness and regression test in timeslider_follow
* timeslider_follow: fix Range detection
* more explicit test for linesDiv
