chore(CI): add validation with Circle CI (#14129)

* giving new CI validation script a test run

* tidy up CI script in prep for PR

* seeing if validate runs fine with a `npm ci` install

* using newer/faster node

* does this version have new NPM?

* does node 9 have npm 5.7?

* seeing how forcing 5.7 compares on speed

* trying node 8.9 again

* sticking with 8.9, but ditching `npm ci` for now

* trying just 8 so I can see if it gets LTS updates

* benign commit to trigger a build ahead of PR
