J. Ryan Stinnett 1fda735222 Rebrand various CI scripts and modules
This replaces Riot with Element in various CI scripts, modules, parameters, etc.
This _should_ be the last major rebranding pass (hopefully).

# Running the end-to-end tests on Windows
Windows is not the best platform to run the tests on, but if you have to, enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
and start following these steps to get going:
1. Navigate to your working directory (`cd /mnt/c/users/travisr/whatever/matrix-react-sdk` for example).
2. Run `sudo apt-get install unzip python3 virtualenv dos2unix`
3. Run `dos2unix ./test/end-to-end-tests/*.sh ./test/end-to-end-tests/synapse/*.sh ./test/end-to-end-tests/element/*.sh`
4. Install NodeJS for ubuntu:
```bash
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
```
5. Start Element on Windows through `yarn start`
6. While that builds... Run:
```bash
sudo apt-get install x11-apps
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt -f install
```
7. Run:
```bash
cd ./test/end-to-end-tests
./synapse/install.sh
./install.sh
./run.sh --app-url http://localhost:8080 --no-sandbox
```
Note that using `yarn test:e2e` probably won't work for you. You might also have to use the config.json from the
`element/config-template` directory in order to actually succeed at the tests.
Also note that you'll have to use `--no-sandbox` otherwise Chrome will complain that there's no sandbox available. You
could probably fix this with enough effort, or you could run a headless Chrome in the WSL container without a sandbox.
