Don't create schemas in model tests unless needed
e9c2776 
Creating a schema takes about 3-4 seconds on my machine, so omitting
the callbacks makes tests much faster.

To do so, we're using the `insert!` method added in Rails 6.0, which
inserts a record without executing callbacks or validations. To make the
tests look consistent, we're adding a FactoryBot strategy which uses
`insert!` instead of `create!`.

Note this strategy is useless in most cases because it doesn't work when
models have translatable attributes or associations. However, IMHO it's
worth it even if we only use it for tenants.

We could also use `Tenant.insert!` instead, but then we would have to
add all the mandatory attributes, and in this case the code is clearer
if we only add the attributes we need for the test.

Allow having tenants with different domains
e1e16d2 
Some institutions using CONSUL have expressed interest in this feature
since some of their tenants might already have their own domains.

We've considered many options for the user interface to select whether
we're using a subdomain or a domain, like having two separate fields,
using a check box, ... In the end we've chosen radio buttons because
they make it easier to follow a logical sequence: first you decide
whether you're introducing a domain or subdomain, and then you enter it.

We've also considered hiding this option and assuming "if it's got a
dot, it's a domain". However, this wouldn't work with nested subdomains
and it wouldn't work with domains which are simply machine names.

Note that a group of radio buttons (or check boxes) is difficult to
style when the text of the label might expand over more than one line
(as is the case here on small screens); in this case, most solutions
result in the second line of the label appearing immediately under the
radio button, instead of being aligned with the first line of the label.
That's why I've added a container for the input+label combination.
