As discussed in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/28546#discussion_r254068014, we want to combine the
`define_env_vars` and `download_yarn` anchor since downloading Yarn depends on setting up the
environment variables. In addition this simplifies our setup and reduces code-duplication.

Previously, in order for the `aio_monitoring` failure notifications to
work, the steps up to `define_env_vars` should have succeeded. This
meant that any failures in earlier steps would not send notifications.
This commit fixes it by making the notification step independent of the
`define_env_vars` step.

Currently our version of Yarn is installed through
the "circleci/node" docker image. This is problematic
because in order to be able to update Yarn, we always
need to update the docker image to a version that
comes with the desired Yarn version. Sometimes there
is no docker image with the desired latest Yarn version,
and therefore we cannot easily update the Yarn version.
Additionally updating the docker image also means that
we need to update our version of NodeJS, as well as the
version of `openssl` might have changed (meaning that
our encrypted credential files may not be decodable with
the new version of `openssl`)

By default, `webdriver-manager update` will download the latest
ChromeDriver version, which might not be compatible with the Chrome
version included in the [docker image used on CI], causing CI failures.
Previously, we used to pin the ChromeDriver version on CI in
[ngcontainer's Dockerfile][2]. This was accidentally broken in #26691,
while moving from ngcontainer to default CircleCI docker images.
This commit fixes the issue by pinning ChromeDriver to a known
compatible version.

On push builds, CircleCI provides `CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL`, which we use to
extract the commit range for a given build. When a workflow is rerun
(e.g. to recover from a flaked job), `CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL` is not
defined, causing some jobs to fail.
This commit fixes it by retrieving the compare URL from the original
workflow. It uses a slow process involving a (potentially large) number
of requests to CircleCI API.
It depends on the (undocumented) fact, that the `workspace_id` is the
same on all rerun workflows and the same as the original `workflow_id`.

Moving the tests over to CircleCI in pretty much "as-is" state just so that we can drop the dependency on Travis.
In the followup changes we plan to migrate these tests to run on sauce under bazel. @gregmagolan is working on that.
I've previously verified that all the tests executed in legacy-unit-tests-local already under bazel.
Therefore the legacy-unit-tests-local job is strictly not necessary any more, but given how flaky legacy-unit-tests-saucelabs is,
it is good to have the -local job just so that we can quickly determine if any failure is a flake or legit issue
(the bazel version of these tests could theoretically run in a slightly different way and fail or not fail in a different way, so having -lcoal job is just an extra safety check).
