 Build/Test tools: Reverse the order in which the Travis jobs run.

 As a general rule, this means the fastest test jobs now run first because
 each subsequent version of PHP is faster than the previous. When a
 committer is patiently waiting for a Travis build to complete, they are at
 least more likely to see unexpected failures earlier than they otherwise
 would.

 In addition, this updates the JavaScript test job to run on PHP 7.1.

 Props netweb

 See #39705

 Merges [40434] to the 4.7 branch.
