restructure: move bin/ and tests/ to src/

Also add symlinks from the old `bin/` and `tests/` locations to avoid
breaking scripts and other tools.

Motivations:

  * Scripts and tests no longer have to do dubious things like:

        require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')

    to access packages installed as dependencies in
    `src/package.json`.

  * Plugins can access the backend test helper library in a non-hacky
    way:

        require('ep_etherpad-lite/tests/backend/common')

  * We can delete the top-level `package.json` without breaking our
    ability to lint the files in `bin/` and `tests/`.

    Deleting the top-level `package.json` has downsides: It will cause
    `npm` to print warnings whenever plugins are installed, npm will
    no longer be able to enforce a plugin's peer dependency on
    ep_etherpad-lite, and npm will keep deleting the
    `node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite` symlink that points to `../src`.

    But there are significant upsides to deleting the top-level
    `package.json`: It will drastically speed up plugin installation
    because `npm` doesn't have to recursively walk the dependencies in
    `src/package.json`. Also, deleting the top-level `package.json`
    avoids npm's horrible dependency hoisting behavior (where it moves
    stuff from `src/node_modules/` to the top-level `node_modules/`
    directory). Dependency hoisting causes numerous mysterious
    problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm
    update`. Dependency hoisting also breaks plugins that do:

        require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')

Here's how the node docs work.
Each type of heading has a description block.
## module
Stability: 3 - Stable
description and examples.
### module.property
* Type
description of the property.
### module.someFunction(x, y, [z=100])
* `x` {String} the description of the string
* `y` {Boolean} Should I stay or should I go?
* `z` {Number} How many zebras to bring.
A description of the function.
### Event: 'blerg'
* Argument: SomeClass object.
Modules don't usually raise events on themselves. `cluster` is the
only exception.
## Class: SomeClass
description of the class.
### Class Method: SomeClass.classMethod(anArg)
* `anArg` {Object} Just an argument
* `field` {String} anArg can have this field.
* `field2` {Boolean} Another field. Default: `false`.
* Return: {Boolean} `true` if it worked.
Description of the method for humans.
### someClass.nextSibling()
* Return: {SomeClass object | null} The next someClass in line.
### someClass.someProperty
* String
The indication of what someProperty is.
### Event: 'grelb'
* `isBlerg` {Boolean}
This event is emitted on instances of SomeClass, not on the module itself.
* Modules have (description, Properties, Functions, Classes, Examples)
* Properties have (type, description)
* Functions have (list of arguments, description)
* Classes have (description, Properties, Methods, Events)
* Events have (list of arguments, description)
* Methods have (list of arguments, description)
* Properties have (type, description)
# CLI usage
Run the following from the etherpad-lite root directory:
```sh
$ node bin/doc/generate doc/index.md --format=html --template=doc/template.html > out.html
