**Misc:**
- Attempting to [.click()](https://on.cypress.io/click) a select element will now throw an error. The error guides you to using the [.select()](https://on.cypress.io/select) command, as that is the command you should use to change a `<select>` value.
- [cy.route()](https://on.cypress.io/route) responses are now validated. If responses are `null` or `undefined` Cypress will throw a very specific error message.
- Cypress will now display `cypress.json` parse errors when attempting to boot a project when there is a syntax error in `cypress.json`.
