92ddcb7aef Use JavaScript in system tests by default
JavaScript is used by about 98% of web users, so by testing without it
enabled, we're only testing that the application works for a very
reduced number of users.

We proceeded this way in the past because CONSUL started using Rails 4.2
and truncating the database between JavaScript tests with database
cleaner, which made these tests terribly slow.

When we upgraded to Rails 5.1 and introduced system tests, we started
using database transactions in JavaScript tests, making these tests much
faster. So now we can use JavaScript tests everywhere without critically
slowing down our test suite.

9cfcbf2f3b Use visible texts in tests
Content like lowercase letters with `text-transform: uppercase` or
spaces after elements with `display: block` or "You're on page:" are not
seen that way by users with a browser supporting CSS.

So we're testing what most users actually experience.

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.
