Jasmine had a major version bump and required a few minor changes in our
booting code. Most notably, using `pending` in a `describe` block is no
longer supported, so we can only return early there. On the positive
side, the unit tests now run in a random order by default, which
eliminates any dependencies between unit tests.
Note that upgrading to Webpack 4 is out of scope for this patch since
the bots cannot work well with the newly generated bundles (both
browsers on both bots do not react within 120 seconds). Webpack 4 is not
faster for us than Webpack 3, so for now there is no need to upgrade.

Unfortunately, based on commit 9276d1dcd9, it seems that we still need to maintain compatibility with old Node.js versions, hence certain files/directories that are executed in Node.js are currently exempt from this rule.
Furthermore, since the files specific to the Chromium extension are not run through Babel, the `/extensions/chromium/` directory is also exempt from this rule.
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
