When github's free CI servers are under heavy load, a race condition between the page loading and checking the database causes tests to flake. This is caused by a system test inputting data into a form then immediately checking the database without waiting for the form to finish submitting. For every database check in the system files, this ensures it's preceded by a capybara matcher with automatic waiting or replace the database check with a check for something to appear on the page.
This can help with speeding up tests by using `:js` to contexts only when necessary.

What changed, and why?
When github's free CI servers are under heavy load, a race condition
between the page loading and checking the database causes tests to flake.
This is caused by a system test inputting data into a form then
immediately checking the database without waiting for the form to finish submitting.
For every database check in the system files, this ensures it's preceded
by a capybara matcher with automatic waiting or replace the database
check with a check for something to appear on the page.
I also took the opportunity to refactor some small things:
:jsto contexts when necessary since removing it keeps the tests faster
