747da42972 Test the user's point of view in moderation specs
We were checking what happens in the database, but what's important is
what users experience after hiding content or blocking authors. Besides,
accessing the database in tests after the browser has started might lead
to database inconsistencies.

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.

23945c2a7c Use JavaScript in tests dealing with tabs
So what we write in the tests is close to what users experience.

b2bc4d19f5 Use JavaScript in tests opening modal dialogs
This way we reproduce the user experience in the tests, and we can make
sure modal dialogs open when we expect it.

5f0c422eb3 Explicitly use rack driver in notifications spec
The filter "Mark as viewed" doesn't work properly, so here's a case
where the test would fail with JavaScript not because the test is wrong,
but due to a bug.

For now we're keeping the test as it was, but eventually we'll have to
fix the bug.

7127b46d9f Use have_current_path instead of include
Using `have_current_path`, Capybara waits until the condition is true,
while using `include` the expectation is evaluated immediately and so
tests might fail when using a driver supporting JavaScript.

Besides, using `have_current_path` the error message is more readable
when the test fails.

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.
