[2.7] Turn on macOS builds for Travis (GH-1846) (GH-1931)

brettcannon · web-flow · commit 6a1b89dd13f9 · 2017-06-03T10:38:43.000-07:00
Initially the macOS builds are allowed to fail until such time that they can be determined to be stable and not add an unacceptable amount of time to the overall Travis-passing process. (cherry picked from commit 21c2dd7)
