In this PR (https://github.com/consul/consul/pull/4683) a new syntax was introduced
in the component specs to check that the component was not rendering.
It seems interesting to add this syntax to the rest of the cases and thus unify the way
we check that a component is not rendering.
There's no real point in linking to a page offering users to choose a
heading when there's only one heading to choose.
So we're linking to the investments index instead.
Before the "valuating" phase, all investments have undecided feasibility
and none have been selected, so the filters would return no results
(except the "not_unfeasible" one, which would return everything).
These tests don't work without JavaScript. They were passing because the
`within` method always passes in component tests.
This reverts most of commit 822140a14.
In component tests, the `within` method is actually an alias to RSpec's
`be_within` matcher, which is used to test numeric ranges. That meant
the tests always passed, even when there were bugs on the page.
In order to use `within` in component tests, we have to use
`page.within`. However, that also fails, since there's no such method
for `Capybara::Node::Simple'` objects, which are used in component
tests.
So we're using `page.find` instead.

The `sign_in(nil)` method was a bit hard to understand IMHO. After all,
in controller and system tests we don't have to specify no user is
signed in; that's the default behavior.
So we're making it the default behavior for component tests as well.
When render the investment list component with the link "see all
investments", now we redirect to groups index page when a budget has
multiple headings.
In general, slow system tests requiring no interaction from the user are
good candidates to be moved to component tests because component tests
are much faster.
In this case, the system tests were also updating the database after
starting the browser, which might cause concurrency issues. We could
split the test and have one system test per phase, but IMHO there's no
need.
We're still having a couple of system tests for the happy path, in order
to make sure users actually see the list of investments.
Note we don't cast negative votes when users remove their support. That
way we provide compatibility for institutions who have implemented real
negative votes (in case there are / will be any), and we also keep the
database meaningful: it's not that users downvoted something; they
simply removed their upvote.

If I'm right, the `investment_votes` instance variable only exists to
avoid several database queries to get whether the current user has
supported each of the investments.
However, that doesn't make much sense when only one investment is shown.
In this case, the number of queries stays the same, and so we can
simplify the code by rendering the component with an optional parameter.
Using links combined with JavaScript to generate POST requests to the
browser has a few issues.
An obvious one is that it doesn't work for users without JavaScript
enabled (which lately I've noticed are more common than I thought, even
though I've been one of them for years). These users will reach a 404
page.
Since CONSUL isn't currently designed to work without JavaScript
enabled, let's ignore this one for now.
A not so obvious issue is screen reader users might expect the link to
take them somewhere instead of performing an action (in this case,
sending a form to the server).
There might be more issues I'm unaware of. Quoting DHH [1]:
"Turning ahrefs into POSTs is a bit of an anti-pattern, especially for
a11y reasons. Better to use button_to with a styling."
So we're using a button instead. This way we can also simplify the code
and make the button disabled for unidentified users, which automatically
makes it impossible to focus it using the keyboard.
A possible disadvantage of using `button_to` is it will create a form
tag which will be announced to screen readers as a form landmark. I've
tested it with my screen reader and everything worked fine for me, but
some screen reader users might interact with these forms in a different
way and find it confusing, particularly in the case where the button is
disabled.
With this change, we're only changing links for buttons in one place.
There are other places where we should do similar changes.

In regular system tests, we prefer testing against the text of the link
because it's easier to recognize which link we're talking about.
I was wondering whether we should remove the `title` attribute
completely and use just the `aria-label` attribute. Quoting The Paciello
Group blog [1]:
"If you want to hide content from mobile and tablet users as well as
assistive tech users and keyboard only users, use the title attribute."
However, there's a case where mouse users might find the title attribute
useful. When visiting an investment page, the connection between the
"Support" link and the investment is not as clear as it is in the
investments index page, so it might not be clear what you're supporting.
As mentioned, though, this information will only be relevant for mouse
users, who nowadays represent less than half of our users.

This way blind screen reader users will know which project they're
supporting. In a list of investments, context might not be clear when a
link saying "Support" or "Support this project" is announced, but a link
saying "Support Renovate sidewalks in Main Street" is less ambiguous.
When identified users accessed the investments page, we were using the
`aria-hidden` attribute to hide this link from screen readers since
unidentified users can't support investments.
However, the link was still focusable using keyboard navigation. This
resulted in screen reader users reaching the link and being able to
click it, but getting no feedback at all about where they were or what
they were clicking on.
This is why the fourth ARIA rule says: "Do not use role="presentation" or
aria-hidden="true" on a focusable element" [1].
So we're replacing the link with a non-interactive element instead, like
we do in other places like proposals.
The accessibility of this part of the page for unidentified users still
has some issues; here we're only improving it up to a certain point.

Note one of the tests dealing with random results is a bit flaky; since
it's a permutation selecting 7 objects out of 12, it will fail about
once every 4 million times. We think this is acceptable.

- Allow to define a link (text and url) on budget form for render on the budget
header.
- Improve styles
