This saves us an executor on Travis.
Note that we still do a bazel build on travis when we run the integration tests under e2e_2.
We expect that CircleCI is the only place we'll ever consume bazel-built artifacts.

There are now 3 modes for deployment: next, stable, archive.
We compute which mode (and other deployment properties)
from the `TRAVIS_BRANCH` and the `STABLE_BRANCH`.
If the TRAVIS_BRANCH is master we deploy as "next".
If the `TRAVIS_BRANCH` matches the `STABLE_BRANCH` we deploy as "stable".
Otherwise if the branch has a major version lower than the stable version
and its minor version is highest of similar branches we deploy as "archive".
For "archive" deployments we compute the firebase project and deployment
url based on the major version of the `TRAVIS_BRANCH`.
As well as choosing where to deploy the build, we also use this
to select the environment file for the AIO Angular app.
This will enable the app to change its rendering and behaviour
based on its mode.
