Our SafeMigrate system is designed to prevent tables/columns being dropped in pre-deploy migrations. Its regex-based detection was triggering incorrectly on `ALTER COLUMN DROP NOT NULL`.
This patch removes some of our freedom patches that have been deprecated
for some time now.
Some of them have been updated so we’re not shipping code based on an
old version of Rails.
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
