React: Run at least a subset of the tests in-browser before releases

Frankly, it scares me a little that a substantial IE text node bug made it through into a release candidate. Some of the tests could _fairly easily_ be run on SauceLabs or a similar service to do actual browser verification.

Yea, this was a bad one that got through. We should have caught it. There are a couple things we could do differently for that particular one (including but not limited to browser testing). Thanks for bringing it up - it's definitely on our minds.

Is this not precisely what prereleases are for? To capture bugs that unit tests and the team has missed in development?

This is definitely something we want to do.
Please refer to #5703 for the related discussion.
I鈥檓 not sure what the specific roadblocks are, but it鈥檚 better to ask in the existing issue.

@iamdustan absolutely not. Relying on the community to catch core bugs is ludicrous
