There are a few problems with sleeping before checking the condition
for the first time:
* It slows down tests.
* The predicate is never checked if the interval duration is greater
than the timeout.
* 0 can't be used to test if the condition is currently true.
There is a minor disadvantage to sleeping before checking: It will
cause more tests to run without an asynchronous interruption, which
could theoretically mask some async bugs.
The `helper.waitFor()` function returns a jQuery Deferred object.
Deferred objects are supposed to have a `.fail()` method that is
chainable (it should return `this`). Before this change,
`helper.waitFor()` monkey-patched the `.fail()` method with a function
that returned `undefined`. Now the monkey-patched `.fail()` returns
the Deferred object.
Also modernize the code a bit.
* remote_runner.js: fix drain call (cf.
https://github.com/caolan/async/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#breaking-changes)
* dont wait 30 seconds after remote_runner.js returned
* timeout frontend tests after 9.5 minutes to prevent travis from silently stop them
* log when not all tests finished
* prevent killTimeout to happen after last test
* log server messages to console
* remote_runner will take some time to setup sl, so this second is not necessary
* dont write to global mocha variable
* mochas `test end` event is not called when a before/beforeEach-hooks
failed, so we should only use pass/fail/pending-hooks for logging.
also some cruft removed
* pass test in `pending`-event handler
* remove some more cruft in tests/frontend/runner.js
* frontend tests: clarify why stats.tests and total differ
* move killTimeout to pass/fail/pending instead of `test end` to guarantee that it is run
* delete killTimeout on test end to prevent misleading log message
* unused variable
* fix regex
* unlikely edge case
* ensure `allowed test duration exceeded` message is printed for the last runner
* get rid of jquery.iframe.js, currently no support for IE<9
* retry up to 3 times when pad could not be loaded
* Call the logging code in stopSauce in a callback for `browser.quit()`.
This should fix cases like

Travis received all the logs and remote_runner.js exits, but there never
is a DELETE command for webdriver.
