Travis has upgraded from trusty -> xenial to address Meltdown. There are issues with Chrome in Xenial that can currently be worked around with `sudo: required`. At some point this workaround may be removable. See travis-ci/travis-ci#8836

For Bugs and Features; did you add new tests?
No new tests needed, this fixes the Travis build infrastructure.
However, for a sample breaking build without this change: https://travis-ci.org/smalls/mocha-chrome/builds/326961711
And with this change: https://travis-ci.org/smalls/mocha-chrome/builds/327001070
Motivation / Use-Case
Travis has updated from Trusty to Xenial which is causing issues. This is their current recommended workaround; once they have a long-term fix, this change can be removed.
travis-ci/travis-ci#8836 for more information.
Breaking Changes
All current mocha-chrome & travis users may need to make similar changes in their
.travis.ymlfiles.Additional Info
