Legislation Processes created through the admin form were getting the default color.
However, Legislation processes created by other means (like the `db:dev_seed` rake task) were not getting these default values.
This feature was originally implemented when we were using Rails 4.
With Rails 5, we can provide default values to all new Legislation processes
and simplify the code at the same time thanks to its `attribute` method.

We've had to add a couple of hacks in order to make jQuery UI datepicker
work with Turbolinks, and one of our tests is failing because the
datepicker changes its height when changing from a month with 5 weeks to
a month with 6 weeks.
We could add a workaround so the test still passes (jQuery UI doesn't
provide a configuration option to always displays 6 weeks in the
datepicker), but I think it's easier to just use the HTML5 native date
input field, which also allows us to simplify the code a bit and IMHO it
improves the user experience, particularly when using mobile phones.
Since date fields are not supported in Safari and Internet Explorer,
we're still using the jQuery UI datepicker on those browsers (and on any
other browser not supporting date fields).
Due to these changes, we're moving the tests checking datepicker's
behaviour to the dashboard. I've choosing not to change the public pages
because I'm not 100% sure everybody would like this change (some people
prefer the datepicker because we can configure the way it looks).
We were using a <label> tag with no associated field where a <legend>
tag was more appropriate. With a fieldset, we also make it obvious these
fields are related.
This is the reason why this feature was implemented in the first
place: it's easy to open the editor, make some changes, close it, and
continue without realizing the changes have not been saved.
In the rest of the forms, this functionality is quite lacking. For
starters, some forms warn if there are unsaved changes, while some forms
don't, which is highly inconsistent and disorients users.
Furthermore, we were having problems with this feature after upgrading
Turbolinks, particularly in forms using CKEditor. In these cases, a lot
of hacking needs to be done in order to make this feature work properly,
since CKEditor adds some formatting automatically, and if this is done
after the form is serialized, we'll get some unexpected behavior. On the
other hand, comparing the value of a textarea against its `defaultValue`
property will work on every edge case, including using the browser's
back button or reloading the page.
Finally, users are used to the way web forms work, and aren't used to be
asked for confirmation when they change their mind and decide to leave
the page without saving the changes. Asking them for confirmation will
be annoying in most cases. Besides that, if they accidentally leave the
page, they can use the browser's back button and they'll recover the
unsaved changes.
It's true this won't happen it they accidentally close the browser's
window, but our WatchFormChanges functionality didn't work in this case
either. Using the "beforeunload" event adds more problems than it
solves, since it doesn't support custom messages (or, to be more
precise, modern browsers ignore custom messages), and it doesn't get
along with turbolinks.

When we grouped the fields together, the last one turned into a
`last-child`, which foundation automatically aligns to the right.
The markdown editor also needed to be tweaked a little bit.
