Change from Tinderbox to Travis CI for automated Bugzilla testing

[Damien]

Hi,

Kind of a late reply... but if some developers are forking the github
project;
then if you had pull requests enabled, you would be able to automagically
test them with Travis CI and
they would appear at [1]. Documentation for that is at [2]. This should
make the review
process tremendously easier.

I know there are strong opinions against using the issue tracker from
github, so
let me just leave that as a "that's a possibility and it's available".
