phantomjs is an unmaintained project

[ossdev07]

Hello Team,

PhantomJS is an unmaintained project and CodeMirror uses phantomjs for its qunit testing.

I am curious to know that will you be interested in replacing phantomjs with some other suitable alternative, as it is better using up to date dependencies.

Please share your thoughts on this and any further suggestion regarding the phantomjs replacement like chrome headless.

I would like to introduce puppeteer as the testing framework in replacement to phantomjs,
As in order to achieve the same, I would have to update the test cases and other files having phantomjs support currently.
Will you be interested in accepting such a wide change in the package, could you please share your feedback on this.

What would you need to change about the tests themselves? There's some feature-detection happening where tests that don't run properly on Phantom are turned off, but I think that would be it (and can be ignored in a first iteration and removed later).

I'd be interested in a Puppeteer-based test runner. There's a bunch of tests that fail on current Chrome due to some details of the way it handles bidi text changing between the ancient version in PhantomJS and current versions, but I'm okay with just disabling those until someone has time to look into them.
