Change support to Maintenance LTS branches

See original GitHub issue

Node v6 is not quite three years old. Most of the other frameworks I use still support it. Karma is the only outlier (noted in the node-tap dependencies) that requires node 8. Would it be reasonable to change the support policy to LTS maintenance?

Node v6 will exit LTS in less than 40 days. karma 3.x still supports node 6. We chose to move on to v8 so we could begin to leverage async. I think this is a reasonable tradeoff.

Yes, you are correct, our docs are out of date for a month. Have you tried v3.x on node 6?
