We don't need any row classes anymore because the <body> already has a
maximum width. As for columns, we only have one column in this form, so
we don't need them either. Besides, the form's parent element already
has a padding.
Although most CONSUL installation don't enable the translation
interface, we're adding some code to take this case into account.
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.

This way it's easier to find the keys: keys related to the
`Budgets::Investments::VotesComponent` class are in the
`budgets.investments.votes` namespace.
We're making a couple of exceptions; we're not modifying the `supports`
nor the `support_title` keys because they're used in other places.
Since we're going to add an action to remove supports, having a separate
controller makes things easier.
Note there was a strange piece of code which assumed users were not
verified if they couldn't vote investments. Now the code is also
strange, since it assumes users are not verified if they can't create
votes. We might need to revisit these conditions if our logic changes in
the future.
In the previous commit I mentioned:

Now let's discuss the case when there are several investments, like in
the investments index:
* There are 10 investments per page by default
* Each query takes less than a millisecond
* We still make a query per investment to check whether the current user
voted in a different group
* AFAIK, there have been no performance tests showing these
optimizations make the request to the investments index significantly
faster
* These optimizations make the code way more complex than it is without
them
Considering all these points, I'm removing the optimizations. I'm fine
with adding `includes` calls to preload records and avoid N+1 queries
even if there are no performance tests showing they make the application
faster because the effect on the code complexity is negligible. But
that's not the case here.
Note we're using `defined?` instead of the `||=` operator because the
`||=` operator will not serve its purpose when the result of the
operation returns `false`.
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.

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.
