Eugene Kenny ee525ff663 Load framework test files in deterministic order
`Dir.glob` doesn't guarantee the order of its results:

https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.6.5/Dir.html#method-c-glob

> Case sensitivity depends on your system (File::FNM_CASEFOLD is
> ignored), as does the order in which the results are returned.

Minitest stores a list of all test cases in the order that they were
defined; it shuffles them before they're run, but doesn't sort them:

https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest/blob/v5.13.0/lib/minitest.rb#L1048
https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest/blob/v5.13.0/lib/minitest.rb#L156

This means that the order in which framework tests run is platform
dependent, and running a test command that failed in CI locally won't
necessarily reproduce the error, even when the same seed is provided.

`Rake::FileList` resolves glob patterns to a sorted list of files:

https://github.com/ruby/rake/blob/v13.0.1/lib/rake/file_list.rb#L408

By using `Rake::FileList` instead of `Dir.glob`, framework tests will
always run in the same order when given the same seed, and reproducing
order dependent CI failures will be easier.

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.

You can read more about Action Pack in the {Action Controller Overview}[https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_controller_overview.html] guide.
