Fixed issues with app.rb require

When trying to launch the app if the `LOAD_PATH` was not properly set
the unicorn server was unable to load the `app.rb` source
file. Updated to use the `expand_path` method from the File class.

Update image reference for Travis

[DELAY MERGE] TNL-6151: Upgrade forums to ES 1.x

Elasticsearch 0.90.x is quite out-of-date, and this requirement is preventing us from sharing an ES cluster with newer IDAs.

ECOM-3261 and SOL-295

Wrap newrelic calls in a rescue block

Update development db to match others.

The service is no longer authorized to edit a database of a different name,
so this changes the development database name to match the name of
other environments.

We're using 3.0.14 in prod, test with that

Install newrelic_rpm to < 4.0

NewRelic have dropped support for ruby 1.9.x, and so we can't use their latest
app monitoring agent until we upgrade ruby.

TNL-6562: Enhance rake logging.

Verify that ES is configured properly before starting

Run the rake search:validate task before starting the service. If it
fails, then that means the mappings or indexes aren't in sync, the
former of which can cause corrupt data, and the latter, non-functioning
search. It fails with this exit code so that supervisor knows whether to
sleep before trying to restar the app or not.

- Make search:initialize idempotent.
- Add rake tasks for put_mappings and validate_index.

TNL-6464: Minor changes to rebuild_index.

- Allow configurable extra minutes for catchup.
