This test is only valid if we’re running in ipython (which we are not, by default, on travis) for now we’ll drop it

This PR introduces a client-only or "headless" mode.
This mode makes it possible to generate visualizations without running a server, or even an internet connection. It renders data directly into a template (with
jinja2) and appends a bundled version of the javascript for all of Lightning's visualizations.With this, we can render most of Lightning's visualizations with just a
pip install. It does not support all visualizations, and does not support functionality that involves communication between visualization and client (e.g. returning selections). But is provides a particularly simple entry-point, especially for notebooks, and provides faster rendering by avoiding data transfer.It should be reasonably easy to add this functionality to the other clients. And we can push updates to the core visualizations to all the clients just by updating the embedded JS file.
