1612191 - Make it easy to bump browsertime version/URL

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Performance, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

While capturing documentation for the "bump browsertime version pin" flow, I thought I would automate a small part of it to avoid having *nix and Windows specific documentation sections.

I couldn't find an exact version for the introduction of the flag, but
it appears to be at least NPM v3. We recently started to install and
require at least NPM v6.13.4 in tree.

Might as well automate what we can automate. I considered making the
"update package.json" logic part of setup_helper.py, so that it can be
used more broadly, but it's not clear it would be used with the
general push towards vendoring into the tree as part of mach vendor.

Depends on D63370

Greg: I forgot I started on this work but maybe we want it. Commandeer these if you want them? Otherwise, unset the review flags? (I left them up so you'd loop Mark Banner in on the discussion.) Mark, this could pave the way to this type of bumping more generally.

Thanks :nalexander! I'll commandeer them and continue from where you left off.
