Update package.json devDependencies for WordPress 4.4

[jorbin]

New versions of some of the devDependencies have been released. Let's test and upgrade!

"autoprefixer-core" can be updated from ~5.2.1 to ~6.0.1 (Installed: 5.2.1, Latest: 6.0.1)
"grunt-contrib-cssmin" can be updated from ~0.12.3 to ~0.14.0 (Installed: 0.12.3, Latest: 0.14.0)
"grunt-postcss" can be updated from ~0.5.4 to ~0.6.0 (Installed: 0.5.4, Latest: 0.6.0)
"grunt-sass" can be updated from ~1.0.0 to ~1.1.0-beta (Installed: 1.0.0, Latest: 1.1.0-beta)
"matchdep" can be updated from ~0.3.0 to ~1.0.0 (Installed: 0.3.0, Latest: 1.0.0)

Browserify was just bumped to 4.0.0 via r34888

Build Tools: upgrade grunt-browserify to ~4.0.0 and remove the watch task for browserify, which has its own internal watcher. Run npm install to update.
Props iseulde.
Fixes #31911.

To clarify more on the semantic versioning of NodeJS packages:

The following dependencies are satisfied by their declared version range, but the installed versions are behind. You can install the latest versions without modifying your package.json by using npm update.

 grunt-browserify       ~4.0.0  →   ~4.0.1 
 grunt-contrib-copy     ~0.8.0  →   ~0.8.1 
 grunt-contrib-jshint  ~0.11.2  →  ~0.11.3 

Example, because we use the tilde ~ character e.g. "grunt-browserify": "~4.0.0", then version 4.0.1 will be installed via either a fresh checkout of the develop repo follwed by npm install or updated without a change to package.json via npm update

See ​http://semver.npmjs.com/ for further details.

Example: From a fresh SVN checkout of the devleop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk repo and npm install:

$ npm list --depth=0
WordPress@4.4.0 /Users/netweb/dev/weatherbot/wp/trunk
├── autoprefixer-core@5.2.1
├── grunt@0.4.5
├── grunt-browserify@4.0.1
├── grunt-contrib-clean@0.6.0
├── grunt-contrib-compress@0.13.0
├── grunt-contrib-concat@0.5.1
├── grunt-contrib-copy@0.8.1
├── grunt-contrib-cssmin@0.12.3
├── grunt-contrib-imagemin@0.9.4
├── grunt-contrib-jshint@0.11.3
├── grunt-contrib-qunit@0.7.0
├── grunt-contrib-uglify@0.9.2
├── grunt-contrib-watch@0.6.1
├── grunt-includes@0.5.1
├── grunt-jsvalidate@0.2.2
├── grunt-legacy-util@0.2.0
├── grunt-patch-wordpress@0.3.0
├── grunt-postcss@0.5.5
├── grunt-rtlcss@1.6.0
├── grunt-sass@1.0.0
└── matchdep@0.3.0

Per the above I'm removing the following from the original list of dependancies to update in this ticket: grunt-browserify, grunt-contrib-copy, and grunt-contrib-jshint.

If one of these dependancies are broken then we already have a problem without updating our package.json file as minor versions should not break anything per the semantic versioning of NodeJS package specifications. As such we no longer need to update minor versions of dependancies as long as we continue to use ~ to allow minor version updates in package.json.

If we want to use explicit versions then we should revisit using npm shrinkwrap to achieve this.

@netweb - Please don't make substantive modifications to the description. They are hard to follow and can create confusion. Also, if you want to switch to shrinkwraping, #30787 is open for that.

  • Packages autoprefixer and autoprefixer-core were merged in 6.0 release.

Replace Autoprefixer Core with Autoprefixer

Autoprefixer Core 5.2.1 -> Autoprefixer 6.0.3 ​https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer/releases/tag/6.0.0
Package autoprefixer-core is deprecated in favour of autoprefixer as part of the 6.0.0 release:
Packages autoprefixer and autoprefixer-core were merged in 6.0 release.
Autoprefixer 6.0.0 requires PostCSS 5.0.10 or greater
PostCSS 0.5.4 -> 0.6.0 ​https://github.com/nDmitry/grunt-postcss/compare/v0.5.4...v0.6.0

You will need to update your dev dependencies after this change.

In 35335:

Update grunt-browserify

upstream changes ​https://github.com/jmreidy/grunt-browserify/compare/v4.0.0...v4.0.1

See #34177

[netweb]

Patch 34177-matchdep.diff contains matchdep update from 0.3.0 to 1.0.0

• ​https://github.com/tkellen/js-matchdep/compare/v0.3.0...v1.0.0

Notes: Very minor changes despite the major semver bump

[netweb]

With grunt-sass the difference between v1.0.0 and v1.1.0-beta is using the upstream dependancy node-sass v3.4.0-beta vs current v3.0.0 (which has subsequently been replaced by node-sass v3.4.0-beta2) which are both beta testing the LibSass 3.3.0 beta1 and beta2 library respectively.

• ​https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-sass/compare/v1.0.0...v1.1.0-beta
• ​https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases

I suggest we pass on making this change as there are no current issues that affect us and we can update this once upstream "beta" testing is complete and LibSass 3.3.0 has been released.

[netweb]

Patch 34177-grunt-contrib-cssmin.diff updates grunt-contrib-cssmin from v0.12.3 to v0.14.0

Notes: No changes to minified files in the /build folder

[netweb]

A new version of grunt-postcss was released a overnight also from v0.6.0 to v0.7.0.

There's an issue with the new failOnErroroption added in this release that causes grunt to exit with an error on detecting a warning or error that will be nice to have once resolved

• ​https://github.com/nDmitry/grunt-postcss/compare/v0.6.0...v0.7.0
• ​https://github.com/nDmitry/grunt-postcss/issues/64

Once resolved upstream I'll add a patch
