eileencodes 7c9af60e5c Call system test driver per-instance rather than globally
Previously the system test subclasses would call `driven_by` when the
app booted and not again when the test was initialized which resulted in
the driver from whichever class was called last to be used in tests.

In rails/rails#28144 the `driven_by` method was changed to run `use` on
setup and `reset` on teardown. While this was a viable fix this really
pointed to the problem that system test `driven_by` was a global
setting, rather than a per-class setting.

To alieviate this problem calling the driver should be done on an
instance level, rather than on the global level. I added an `initialize`
method to `SystemTestCase` which will call `use` on the superclass
driver. Running the server has been moved to `start_application` so that
it only needs to be called once on boot and no options from `driven_by`
were being passed to it.

This required a largish rewrite of the tests. Each test needs to utilize
the subclass so that it can properly test the drivers.
`ActionDispatch::SystemTestCase` shouldn't be called directly anymore.

= 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.
