Proposal: Add methods for determining current browser

[chrisbreiding]

With Firefox support around the corner, the following methods will be useful to conditionally test things based on browser:

• Cypress.isBrowser(_browserName_):
  • Returns true if the exact browser is being run
  • browserName is case-insensitive
• Cypress.isBrowserType(_browserType_): Returns true if the browser is in the family of browserType:
  • Cypress.isBrowserType('chrome') will return true for Chrome, Canary, Chromium, and Electron
  • Cypress.isBrowserType('firefox') will return true for Firefox, Firefox Developer Edition, and Firefox Nightly
  • browserType is case-insensitive

We now have Cypress.browser which can be used to achieve the same thing. Closing as resolved.
