feat #1137 add tests for util.Dom.getGeometry
fix #1137 utils.Dom.getGeometry on absolutely positioned parents

This commit fixes some of the issues in Dom.getGeometry method:

- it adjusted the returned value only on elements with overflow scroll or
  auto, and not when overflow was hidden
- when an element had absolutely positioned ancestors, it was returning
  incorrect values (due to the fact that a parent of absolutely positioned
  element has computed height of 0); particularly it was sometimes wrongly
  returning null while the element was visible in the viewport
- it was sometimes doing calculations unnecessarily

The original issue which triggered the investigation was about SelectBox
inside absolutely positioned parent not displaying the dropdown due to the
call to getGeometry returning null.

Close #1140.
fix #1135 loading indicator scroll issue in IE8-

In IE8 and IE7 the scroll event does not bubble up, so the loading indicator refresh is not triggered when the user scrolls a view inside a container.
This fix registers listeners on the ancestors of the overlayed element (only for IE8 and below), and adds 2 new util methods in aria.utils.Event

fix #1145 ScrollableBodyTest in IE8

Commit 3250a2654c12a46e18bbcdae3662c65ebf56a25b introduced a regression
in IE8 which showed up in ScrollableBodyTest.

In IE8, scroll event is not triggered on #document, but only on window
(other browsers work differently)

fix #1143 mocha tests failing on patch builds

New versions of npm (1.4.x) transform the version entry in package.json
from the form like `1.4.17A` to `1.4.17-A` in the env variable.

Hence our build was failing on patch builds when new version of npm was used.
1.5.4

close #1146
fix #1148 disable npm spinner on travis

npm 1.4.11+ uses spinner (progress indicator) which messes with the output
of the test suite, making it less readable. There's no need for it during
Travis builds.
