I’m renaming all instances of `use_transcational_fixtures` to
`use_transactional_tests` and “transactional fixtures” to
“transactional tests”.
I’m deprecating `use_transactional_fixtures=`. So anyone who is
explicitly setting this will get a warning telling them to use
`use_transactional_tests=` instead.
I’m maintaining backwards compatibility—both forms will work.
`use_transactional_tests` will check to see if
`use_transactional_fixtures` is set and use that, otherwise it will use
itself. But because `use_transactional_tests` is a class attribute
(created with `class_attribute`) this requires a little bit of hoop
jumping. The writer method that `class_attribute` generates defines a
new reader method that return the value being set. Which means we can’t
set the default of `true` using `use_transactional_tests=` as was done
previously because that won’t take into account anyone using
`use_transactional_fixtures`. Instead I defined the reader method
manually and it checks `use_transactional_fixtures`. If it was set then
it should be used, otherwise it should return the default, which is
`true`. If someone uses `use_transactional_tests=` then it will
overwrite the backwards-compatible method with whatever they set.

Ensure that SQLCounter.clear_log is called after each test.
This is a step to prevent side effects when running tests. This will allow us to run them in random order.
In the end I think the pain of implementing this seamlessly was not
worth the gain provided.
The intention was that it would allow plain ruby objects that might not
live in your main application to be subclassed and have persistence
mixed in. But I've decided that the benefit of doing that is not worth
the amount of complexity that the implementation introduced.
