The millisecond representation of a given Date instance is dependent on
the local system's time zone settings. In order to pass consistently
across contexts, tests for this value must take the system configuration
into account.
Introduce a test harness utility function to encapsulate these concerns.
Re-use this function across all test files that assert the exact
millisecond representation of Date instances.
The `environment.js` file has been empty since its initial introduction
to this project [1]. It has no effect on any of the contexts in which it
is currently referenced, so it may be safely removed.

This function is equivalent to `$ERROR` (which is automatically included
in test environments). Remove the harness file that defines the
function, remove references to the file from test `includes` lists, and
update scripts to instead invoke the `$ERROR` function.
