Certain optimizations for simple templates could result in objects returned by helpers returned rather than their string representation, resulting in some odd edge cases. This ensures that strings are always returned from the API for consistency.
Fixes#1054.
Creating a new depth value seems to confuse users as they don’t expect things like `if` to require multiple `..` to break out of. With the change, we avoid pushing a context to the depth list if it’s already on the top of the stack, effectively removing cases where `.` and `..` are the same object and multiple `..` references are required.
This is a breaking change and all templates that utilize `..` will have to check their usage and confirm that this does not break desired behavior. Helper authors now need to take care to return the same context value whenever it is conceptually the same and to avoid behaviors that may execute children under the current context in some situations and under different contexts under other situations.
Fixes#1028
Converts the tool chain to use babel, eslint, and webpack vs. the previous proprietary solutions.
Additionally begins enforcing additional linting concerns as well as updates the code to reflect these rules.

Causes templates to throw when lookup fields are not defined within the context. Strict mode will throw when any field is omitted. assumeObjects mode maintains the existing behavior of outputting an empty response when fields are not defined but allows for performance/size optimizations by not doing safety checks for intermediate objects in the lookup chain.
Strict mode effectively disables the helperMissing and inverse handling for blockHelperMissing as templates will throw rather than call those features for missing data fields.

Provides the mustache behavior of recursive lookup without the use of depthed paths.
Note that this does incur a fairly dramatic performance penalty for depthed queries.
Allows for monkey patching (under ES5 systems). This somewhat mirrors
the proposed behavior in https://github.com/square/es6-module-transpiler/issues/37
but applies the behavior via manual code changes rather than compiler
support.
The idea is that the environment wraps up the mutable stuff in
Handlebars (like the helpers) and that you could theoretically create a
new one at any time and pass it in to Handlebars.template.
Every test makes a new environment and uses it in template compilation.
