Our `namespace` helper returns a string. However, Rails version 5.2.4.6
doesn't allow strings as arguments to polymorphic_path [1]
Since returning a symbol in our `namespace` helper would break other
places in the application, we're converting it to a symbol in the
methods calling `polymorphic_path`.

These routes are solved in a different way because of an inconsistency:
we define `groups` and `budget_investments`; we should either use the
`budget_` prefix in all places or remove it everywhere.
We can now share code using `polymorphic_path` even with these models.
In the past, we couldn't use `polymorphic_path` in many places. For
instance, `polymorphic_path(budget, investment)` would return
`budget_budget_investment_path`, while in our routes we had defined
`budget_investment_path`.
With the `resolve` method, introduced in Rails 5.1, we can use symbols
to define we want it to use `investment` instead of `budget_investment`.
It also works with nested resources, so now we can write
`polymorphic_path(investment)`.
This makes the code for `resource_hierarchy_for` almost impossible to
understand. I reached this result after having a look at the internals
of the `resolve` method in order to get its results and then remove the
symbols we include.
Note using this method will not make admin routes compatible with
`polymorphic_path`. Quoting from the Rails documentation:
> This custom behavior only applies to simple polymorphic URLs where a
> single model instance is passed and not more complicated forms, e.g:
> [example showing admin routes won't work]
Also note that now the `admin_polymorphic_path` method will not work for
every model due to inconsistencies in our admin routes. For instance, we
define `groups` and `budget_investments`; we should either use the
`budget_` prefix in all places or remove it everywhere. Right now the
code only works for items with the prefix; it isn't a big deal because
we never call it with an item without the prefix.
Finally, for unknown reasons some routing tests fail if we use
`polymorphic_path`, so we need to redefine that method in those tests
and force the `only_path: true` option.
By doing so and including it in ActionDispatch::Routing::UrlFor, we make
it available in controllers, helpers and specs, and so we can remove the
duplication we had there with methods dealing with the same problem.
Even if monkey-patching is ugly, using a different module and executing
ActionDispatch::Routing::UrlFor.send(:include, MyModule) wouldn't make
the method available in the controller.
