We encountered a Browserify bug when releasing the CLI, where absolute
paths would be hard-coded in the final bundle. Since we were in the
middle of a release process, we added a quick and dirty
search-and-replace workaround on `concatenate-javascript.sh`.
After the release, we submitted a PR to Browserify which fixes the
issue. This commit makes use of my personal fork to be able to use such
fix while it gets merged to the main project.

For some strange reason, Browserify will hardcode absolute paths from
the machine that generated the bundle to be able to resolve `__dirname`
and `__filename` calls. This makes no sense, given that it means that
the Browserify bundle will not work when we move it to another machine,
which went undetected probably for months.
The Browserify community apparently makes modules to fix this particular
issue (like `bundle-collapser`, and `intreq`), however none of this seem
to solve the problem for the Etcher CLI bundle.
I also gave https://github.com/zeit/pkg a go, however I gave up after
not being able to make use of native modules (nothing seems to work; the
packager result will simply not find the addons).
Finally, I ended up making the following workarounds:
- Edit the Browserify bundle file to use its own `__dirname` to
dynamically resolve the values of `__dirname` and `__filename` of the
files it contains
- Patch `lzma-native` to statically require its add-on rather than
relying on dynamic requires from `node-pre-gyp`, which makes it
impossible to resolve on the final bundle

UglifyJS v3 was recently released, which includes support for
compressing ES6 code.
This commit introduces the following changes:
- Add a boolean `-m` option to `concatenate-javascript.sh`, which when
set, will minify the final concatenated JavaScript file
- Install `uglify-es` in the CI servers
