1b8a079727 Don't reload records in system tests
As mentioned in commits like a586ba806, a7664ad81, 006128da5, b41fbfa52
and c480cdd91, accessing the database after starting the browser with
the `visit` method sometimes results in database corruption and failing
tests on our CI due to the process running the test accessing the
database after the process running the browser has started.

For example, one of these tests has recently failed on our CI:

```
3) Users Create a level 3 user with email from scratch
   Failure/Error: expect(user.reload).to be_confirmed
     expected `#<User id: 2060, email: "pepe@gmail.com", created_at:
     "2025-03-12 19:51:03.688867000 +0100", updated_...d_debates: true,
     recommended_proposals: true, subscriptions_token: nil,
     registering_from_web: false>.confirmed?` to be truthy, got false
```

IMHO this is also a bad practice for system tests, since these tests
should be checking what users experience.

So we're modifying the tests to check the results of users interaction
from the point of view of the users. For example, instead of checking
that a user is now level 3 verified in the database, we're checking that
the user interface states that the user is level 3 verified.

Note we're adding an offset when editing the map marker by clicking on
`map-location` with `.click(x: 30, y: 30)`. This way we make sure that
both the latitude and longitude change from the original values; we used
to clicking in the middle (no offset), which didn't change the longitude
and changed the latitude just by coincidence.

Also note we aren't changing tests with the `:no_js` tag, since these
tests don't run a real browser in a separate process. In the future, we
should also change most of these tests so they don't access the database
and they use a real browser.

2c05d7fbe7 Add an extra visit to avoid checking the same content
We were checking that, after a `visit`, we're redirected to the account
page, but, since we were already in the account page, the page doesn't
change at all. In order to be 100% that the request caused by the call
to `visit` has finished before checking the expectations, we're visiting
a different page first.

3a9263f6e6 Check flash messages in some system tests
This way it's more clear what the user experience is during the process.

Note this did not result in flaky tests, since the tests continue by
clicking links, that are only present after the request has finished.
However, we're adding expectations so we don't have to think whether the
tests could be flaky and because this way we're also testing the user
experience; it would be strange for a user if they were redirected to a
page without a flash message.

9427f01442 Use system specs instead of feature specs
We get rid of database cleaner, and JavaScript tests are faster because
between tests we now rollback transactions instead of truncating the
database.
