a7e1b42b6c Use checkboxes and radio buttons on poll forms
Our original interface to vote in a poll had a few issues:

* Since there was no button to send the form, it wasn't clear that
  selecting an option would automatically store it in the database.
* The interface was almost identical for single-choice questions and
  multiple-choice questions, which made it hard to know which type of
  question we were answering.
* Adding other type of questions, like open answers, was hard since we
  would have to add a different submit button for each answer.

So we're now using radio buttons for single-choice questions and
checkboxes for multiple-choice questions, which are the native controls
designed for these purposes, and a button to send the whole form.

Since we don't have a database table for poll ballots like we have for
budget ballots, we're adding a new `Poll::WebVote` model to manage poll
ballots. We're using WebVote instead of Ballot or Vote because they
could be mistaken with other vote classes.

Note that browsers don't allow removing answers with radio buttons, so
once somebody has voted in a single-choice question, they can't remove
the vote unless they manually edit their HTML. This is the same behavior
we had before commit 7df0e9a96.

As mentioned in c2010f975, we're now adding the `ChangeByZero` rubocop
rule, since we've removed the test that used `and change`.

6c5b908ef5 Use a loop instead of with_collection to render questions
This is what we usually do in components.

5fa6db2226 Rename HTML attributes referencing poll options
Since now poll question answers have been renamed to poll question
options, using HTML IDs, classes and data attributes named `answer` was
confusing.

8997ed316c Rename variables describing poll options as answers
Since we've renamed the class to `Option`, having variables, methods and
texts refering to it as `answer` was confusing.

38b38d1fcc Rename Poll::Question::Answer to Poll::Question::Option
Having a class named `Poll::Question::Answer` and another class named
`Poll::Answer` was so confusing that no developer working on the project
has ever been capable of remembering which is which for more than a few
seconds.

Furthermore, we're planning to add open answers to polls, and we might
add a reference from the `poll_answers` table to the
`poll_question_answers` table to property differentiate between open
answers and closed answers. Having yet another thing named answer would
be more than what our brains can handle (we know it because we did this
once in a prototype).

So we're renaming `Poll::Question::Answer` to `Poll::Question::Option`.
Hopefully that'll make it easier to remember. The name is also (more or
less) consistent with the `Legislation::QuestionOption` class, which is
similar.

We aren't changing the table or columns names for now in order to avoid
possible issues when upgrading (old code running with the new database
tables/columns after running the migrations but before deployment has
finished, for instance). We might do it in the future.

I've tried not to change the internationalization keys either so
existing translations would still be valid. However, since we have to
change the keys in `activerecord.yml` so methods like
`human_attribute_name` keep working, I'm also changing them in places
where similar keys were used (like `poll_question_answer` or
`poll/question/answer`).

Note that it isn't clear whether we should use `option` or
`question_option` in some cases. In order to keep things simple, we're
using `option` where we were using `answer` and `question_option` where
we were using `question_answer`.

Also note we're adding tests for the admin menu component, since at
first I forgot to change the `answers` reference there and all tests
passed.
