Supersedes #26992 and incorporates #26968.

First commit:

build: add a `Prepare ccache` job in Travis

Combined compile and test of Node.js where lots of files need to be
compiled (e.g. after a V8 update) is exceeding the time limit for
Travis jobs (50 minutes).

Add a job to Travis that compiles Node.js but doesnt run any tests to
populate the ccache. Introduce staging and move the `Test Suite` job
into a later stage so that it can use the populated ccache.

Second commit:

build: fix skipping of flaky tests on Travis

`PARALLEL_ARGS` is overwritten in the Makefile if `JOBS` is set. Use
`CI_JS_SUITES` instead.
Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

Builds are now green again 🎉.

It should be safe to restart any timed out Travis pull request builds as they should pick up the refreshed ccache from the master builds.

@richardlau Why are we skipping flaky tests on Travis in the first place? Wouldn’t dontcare be better, like we do elsewhere in CI? I’ve personally made bad experiences with skipping tests in CI only, because that means that test suite is even more likely to fail for people locally…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Skipping flaky tests was introduced (albeit it wasn't working until this PR) in #23778. I have no objections to dontcare. cc @refack

Even with dontcare the errorlevel is set to 2. Jenkins knows to interpret that as "Unstable", AFAICT Travis doesn't. (Nope, that was removed in favor of tap/xunit parsing).

I'm leaning towards minimal sanity tests in Travis (which IMHO is not CI), I would actually be happy to cull even more test categories...
