Travis CI build timeout

[Loghorn]

When submitting PRs for node or other definitions with a lot of dependents, the Travis CI builds fails because the job time limit is exceeded (50 minutes according to Travis documentation ). See for example PR #20185

Also affects #20694.

@RyanCavanaugh @andy-ms Any idea how CI for node could be improved? Currently changing something in node definitions is a pain as we either see unrelated fails after dtlint/typescript update and/or CI timeouts.

As CI fails PRs get not merged instead submitters are instructed to fix the CI fail...
see #21253, #20542, #20695, #21012, #21003, #20720 (and maybe more)

Just idea: moving to CircleCI 2.0

• faster than Travis (I feel)
• the workflow feature can parallelize job
• the timeout limit is 120 minutes (travis is 50 min)
