Elliot Winkler 9d9dc4e6b9 Tighten CouldNotSetAttributeError restriction
Why:

* Previously, `allow_value` would raise a CouldNotSetAttributeError
  if the value being set didn't match the value the attribute had after
  being set, but only if the attribute was being changed from nil to
  non-nil or non-nil to nil.
* It turns out it doesn't matter which value you're trying to set the
  attribute to -- if the attribute rejects that change it's confusing
  either way. (In fact, I was recently bit by a case in which I was
  trying to validate numericality of an attribute, where the writer
  method for that attribute was overridden to ensure that the attribute
  always stored a number and never contained non-number characters.
  This ended up making the numericality validation useless, of
  course -- but it caused confusion because the test acted in a way
  I didn't expect.)

To satisfy the above:

* `allow_value` now raises a CouldNotSetAttributeError if the attribute
  rejects the value being set in *any* way.
* However, add a `ignoring_interference_by_writer` qualifier so that
  it is possible to manually override this behavior.
* Fix tests that are failing now because of this new change:
  * Fix tests for allow_value matcher
  * Fix tests for numericality matcher
  * Remove tests for numericality matcher + integer column
    * An integer column will typecast any non-integer value to an
      integer.
    * Because of the typecasting, our tests for the numericality matcher
      against an integer column don't quite work, because we can't
      really test what happens when the attribute is set to a
      non-integer value. Now that `allow_value` is more strict, we're
      getting a CouldNotSetAttributeError when attempting to do so.
    * The tests mentioned were originally added to ensure that we are
      handling RangeErrors that ActiveRecord used to emit. This doesn't
      happen anymore, so the tests aren't necessary anymore either.
  * Fix tests for acceptance matcher
  * Fix tests for absence matcher
