Run on the Trusty beta container

This actually makes it so you are testing on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server and not the old Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS precise containers.

Does this make any real significant difference for PHP currently?

[photodude]

The biggest change is it fixes the HHVM version to a valid latest (currently 3.18) rather than the EOL 3.6 version in precise.

@photodude is HHVM full PHP 7.0 compatible?

[photodude]

@ThaDafinser HHVM does have a php7 mode. Unfortunately, there is a major blocker that breaks composer facebook/hhvm#7198 until that issue is fixed the php 7 mode is untestable on travis when projects use composer.

Sound like it's going to be a "dead cow" in the long run, if they don't catch up soon http://symfony.com/blog/symfony-4-end-of-hhvm-support

It somewhat is considering Laravel, Symfony, Doctrine, CakePHP, MongoDB, PHPUnit, Composer, Twig, Silex, and Swiftmailer, etc have all dropped support for HHVM. (that is something like 75% of the php market use has dropped support) They need to both fix the big issues and improve their support end when library devs report issues.

On the upside dropping support by those libraries doesn't prevent those projects from running via HHVM, it just means they are no longer testing and will only fix if someone submits a PR they won't read or fix issues on their end.

I'm closing out all of my PR's like this one considering that Laravel, Symfony, Doctrine, CakePHP, MongoDB, PHPUnit, Composer, Twig, Silex, and Swiftmailer, etc have all dropped support for HHVM.
