Description

I experimented on travis and tweaked .travis.yml.

Motivation

• handle g++ instability
• easily add various configurations (mainly CMake in mind)
• speed up CMake build

How

• use clang for verification, allow failure for gcc
• common scirpt/before_install
• use ninja

Not addressed:

• "make cross" instability
