Daniel Colson bfee5d8dcc Set up reloading after_initialize
Alternate fix for #336. We went with #347 instead because the solution
in this commit didn't work with Rails 4.2. Since we are no longer
supporting Rails 4.2, I think this is a better approach.

The original problem looked like this:

Rails runs all of the initializers
1. Run the ["factory_bot.set_factory_paths"][set_factory_paths]
initializer
2. Run the ["factory_bot.register_reloader"][register_reloader]
initializer, which sets up a [prepare callback][]
3. Run the [`:run_prepare_callbacks`][] initializer
4. This triggers the factory_bot [prepare callback][], which causes
factory\_bot to [reload][]

Rails runs `after_initialize` callbacks
1. [I18n initializes]
2. factory\_bot [reloads again][] as described in #334

Triggering the first factory_bot reload before initializing I18n could
cause an error in some cases.

We avoided the problem in #347 by adding a conditional to skip reloading
factory_bot before the application has initialized.

This commit, on the other hand, moves factory_bot reloading from a
prepare callback into an `after_initialize` callback. The initialization
process is now simplified to:

Rails runs all of the initializers
1. Run the ["factory_bot.set_factory_paths"][set_factory_paths]
2. Run the [`:run_prepare_callbacks`][] initializer, which no longer
involves factory_bot

Rails runs `after_intialize` callbacks
1. [I18n initializes]
2. factory_bot loads definitions for the first time. It then runs the
reloader to set up the prepare callback to reload factory_bot when the
application reloads (for example by calling `reload!` in the console),
and to register the reloader to trigger reloads when any factory_bot
definition files change.
