Add travis support and fix tests on Mono

[jtattermusch]

This adds Travis CI support.

-- Adds ReleaseTravis configuration to the solution. ReleaseTravis will build the Release config, but will skip all the Windows and Windows phone projects, which are hard to build on Mono.

-- Adds .travis.yml file and a build script to run all the existing unit tests

-- Some tests are failing under mono because of environment differences (CRLF vs LF line endings) and some implementation differences in standard libraries. This PR provides hotfixes for these failures so that Travis can display a green tickmark.

Looks awesome!

1. I still want to read http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/ or other docs to understand what's going on.
2. Did you try to break the tests and then see that if fails?
3. Will it won't enable merging\submitting code that breaks tests?

Awesome job Jan! 👍

Unfortunately, no, I am trying to make it work. Normally, this is easy to setup but this project is harder:

• travis only supports linux (mono) - and skipping the windows phone projects skipped turns out to be harder.
• appveyor (there's another pull request for that) is Windows 2012, but for some reason I have trouble getting that works as well.

But yeah, this would be great to have.

Ohhh crap, I didn't see that the latest one is failing.. still adjusting :)

Let me know if I can help...

• I think that a pull request should be only when you are done, then also we might have be able to see only one commit... But that's for next time.

Thanks!

There's no way to test this without creating a pull request, that's why I created one. Usually there's a "DO NOT MERGE" label to make this obvious.

Haaa... I didn't know, sorry
Thanks!

Alright, I think I was successful and I finally made this work. Please see PR description for details and review this.

Also note the "continuous-integration/travis-ci/pr" tickmark under "all checks have passed". There's a "Details" link pointing to the console output of the test run. Once this one is merged, the same tick will be displayed for all new pull requests.

I checked and all tests continue to be passing on Windows (so nothing should be broken by the hotfixes).

LGTM. Amazing work Jan!
I'm so happy to you manage to solve it 👍
