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problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm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')
eslint-config-etherpad 1.0.11 changed the comma-dangle rule to
prohibit trailing commas for function arguments. See:
673ab07acf
Re-run the automated fixes to apply the rule change.
This also fixes a few lint issues in changes that were made after
`eslint --fix` was originally run.
This is a followup on 312c72c364, which did the same on the main code base,
and is preliminary work for tidying up John's changes in the following commits.
No functional changes.

This was a preparatory commit for 3292429ab3 (which introduced a bug, see
issue #3728) and modified the tests for issue #3620.
Commit 155a895604 per se did not introduce any bugs, but was difficult to
inspect because of its size. For this, the corresponding PR (#3622) should not
have been accepted.
