There are two cases where the draft auto-save might fail because the
user is no longer authenticated:
- The user signed-out in another tab,
- The brower quit and re-opened, so the Session cookie expired.
In both cases, the auto-save will never succeed until the user
authenticates again, so displaying a "Retry" button is cruel.
Moreover, in plus of all auto-save requests failing with a small error,
the actual hard failure only occurs after filling all the form and
trying to submit it. Then the user is redirected to the sign-in page –
but all their changes are lost.
Instead, we now redirect to the sign-in page on the first 401 error
during the auto-save, let the user sign-in, and then redirect back to
the form.
Test helpers are separated between two files: spec_helper and
rails_helper. This separation is meant to allow tests that do not
require Rails (like testing standalone libs) to boot faster.
The spec_helper file is always loaded, through `--require spec_helper`
in the `.rspec` config file. When needed, the rails_helper file is
expected to be required manually.
This is fine, but:
- Many test files have a redundant `require 'spec_helper'` line;
- Many test files should require `rails_helper`, but don't.
Not requiring `rails_helper` will cause the Rails-concerned section of
the test environment not to be configured–which may cause subtle bugs
(like the test database not being properly initialized).
Moreover, Spring loads all the Rails files on preloading anyway. So the
gains from using only `spec_helper` are thin.
To streamline this process, this commit:
- Configures `.rspec` to require `rails_helper` by default;
- Remove all manual requires to spec_helper or rails_helper.

This allows to redirect the user to the procedure they signed up for
even when the browser session is not available (like if they changed
of browser).
