Setup automated deploys of Staging branch to Heroku

[lpatmo]

Set up Travis so that it automatically deploys our staging branch to Heroku. For reference: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/heroku/

[angelocordon]

@lpatmo Do we have a staging instance setup yet? Is the idea that the production branch going to Digital Ocean and Staging should go up to Heroku?

[lpatmo]

Sorry, didn't see this earlier. Production should go to DigitalOcean and staging can go to Heroku, yes.

[angelocordon]

Currently in progress -- looks like we're having some Mongo issues in Heroku, looking to figure it out within the next few days. Last logs:

Made some progress by using my personal MongoDB Atlas account; will be working with @lpatmo on correcting authentication issues with the correct Mongo database. I believe it might be due to whitelisting IP addresses and due to Heroku using dynamic IPs, we'd have to allow all IP address (open to better ideas here, this doesn't seem to be too secure but 1. it's staging and 2. it's been the only way I've made it work so far. See this SO reference)

Second snag was getting build errors as our email configuration are looking for environment variables that were not defined in production (this is typically done by passing dev-settings.json through the settings parameter when we run meteor). I've gotten around it by using a stringified version of dev-settings and defining it as an environment variable in Heroku (ref). I think ideally we should move away from using JSON settings and instead move towards using proper environment variables, but will circle back to that at a later time.

[angelocordon]

Solved by following above references, and adding proper roles and users to MongoDB Atlas; then connecting to staging server with correct authentication keys.
