Strategy for supporting node versions

See original GitHub issue

I was going through the LTS schedule for node. And at time of writing it looks like:

Currently I’m a bit confused on what strategy we should pick. Updating .travis.yml etc feels a bit random to me atm. Therefore I’d like us to have a clear strategy on which versions we should support and test on.

Here are some alternatives:

@vweevers If we follow what @mcollina suggested, we will still support node 7 on older versions of levelup, so we can safely drop support from some versions as long as we bump major.
