For consistency, enable ESLint `one-var` rule to require multiple variable declarations for initialized variables per scope. Uninitialized variables can still be declared together (preferred) or separately.

Default options can now be accessed by importing `core/core.defaults`. The returned object acts as a singleton and is populated when importing classes that expose their own default values (meaning that importing only `code.defaults` results in an empty object). Also make `Chart.Ticks` and `Chart.Interaction` importable since existing defaults rely on these values.
Add the `defaults._set` method that make easier declaring new defaults by merging given values with existing ones for a specific scope (`global`, `scale`, `bar`, etc).
Properly export helpers and remove dependencies to `Chart.helpers`. Helpers can now be accessed from `src/helpers/index.js` (`var helpers = require('path/to/helpers/index')`, instead of `var helpers = Chart.helpers`).
For consistency with `valueOrDefault`, `valueAtIndexOrDefault` now returns null if `value` (expected array) is null. Also get rid of the superfluous `get` prefix in `getValueOrDefault` and `getValueAtIndexOrDefault`.
Move some of the "core" and "canvas" utils in `helpers.core.js` and `helpers.canvas.js` and introduce the new `isNullOrUndef` and `isObject` helpers. Deprecate `indexOf` and rename `drawRoundedRectangle` to `roundedRect` which now creates a simple `rect` path if radius is 0. Write missing unit tests for the moved helpers.
The `fill` option now accepts the index of the target dataset (number) or a string starting by "+" or "-" followed by a number representing the dataset index relative to the current one (e.g. `fill: "-2"` on dataset at index 3 will fill to dataset at index 1). It's also possible to "propagate" the filling to the target of an hidden dataset (`options.plugins.filler.propagate`). Fill boundaries `zero`, `top` and `bottom` have been deprecated and replaced by `origin`, `start` and `end`.
Implementation has been moved out of the line element into a new plugin (`src/plugins/plugin.filler.js`) and does not rely anymore on the deprecated model `scaleTop`, `scaleBottom` and `scaleZero` values. Drawing Bézier splines has been refactored in the canvas helpers (note that `Chart.helpers.canvas` is now an alias of `Chart.canvasHelpers`).
Add 3 new examples and extend utils with a pseudo-random number generator that can be initialized with `srand`. That makes possible to design examples starting always with the same initial data.
Fix bar draw issue.
1. `Chart.elements.Rectangle.draw` function supports both horizontal and vertical bar.
2. Corrected bar position at minus.
3. Adjust bar size when `borderWidth` is set.
4. Adjust bar size when `borderSkipped` is set.
5. Adjust `borderWidth` with value near 0(base).
6. Update test.
Fix#2435, this very slim patch (including its relevant documentation addition) adds a small option to line chart datasets (spanGaps) that allows users trying to graph sparse datasets to have lines between null entries drawn, rather than omitted.
This change allows for smaller minified code in the final version, resulting in a smaller file size. Some files had previously used _this, but that has been changed to me to keep consistency throughout the project.
Change some helpers.each() to `for` loops when iterating on a potentially large number of items and use more local variables when appropriate (making the minified build a bit smaller).
