Proposed Changes
This PR switches the integration tests from Chromeless to Puppeteer.
Puppeteer recommends using its bundled version of Chromium, but this would result in downloading a couple hundred megabytes of Chromium every time you ran
npm install. Instead, I've added a script that only downloads the bundled Chromium when you actually run the tests, and removed Chrome as an addon from.travis.yml.Reason for Changes
Chromeless was deprecated mid-2018 and has not been updated since then.
When investigating #535, I thought it would be a good idea to run tests on both the CPU and GPU, to ensure they give the same results. Since doing so would require modifying the test framework anyway, I thought it'd be a good idea to update the tests to use up-to-date software. As such, this PR is somewhat of a prerequisite to running CPU/GPU parity tests. [EDIT: running tests on both the CPU and GPU was already implemented in #419; it was simply reverted. Nevertheless, moving away from a deprecated library is still a good idea]
