Eliminate dependencies

[gigabo]

npm run bootstrap takes forever. Do we really need the kitchen sink?

Eliminate a dependency, and be celebrated for all time! 🎉

Some candidates:

xo:

 22M    node_modules/eslint
 82M    node_modules/xo

ava:

256M    node_modules/ava
820K    node_modules/jasmine

These are modules that have equivalents already in our repo. Standardizing on one can reduce our dependencies without sacrificing functionality. Just dropping xo and ava would eliminate 300MB!

Bonus points if they are slow dependencies
