Installing Cypress using a private registry (Artifactory)

[kobimantzur]

Current behavior:

Cypress install fails when serving it from a private registry (Artifactory).
The package relies on the version of "request" that exists on github/cypress-io instead of npmjs latest version.

We have no option to whitelist Github on the server that tries to install Cypress.

Desired behavior:

Fetch Request from npmjs, it will allow us to store it in Artifactory like the rest of the dependencies of Cypress.

Having a dependency on Github fork presents security risks.
