Avoid running after/enrich without a db effect

Previously both standard interceptors acted upon the `db` *coffect* if
no *effect* was available. Per day8#453 and related discussion, there is little
reason in general to do this, since this context means that the `app-db`
should not change.

Both functions are changed to explicitly check for the presence of the
`db` effect. If it is not present in the context, the interceptor
function is not run.

The previous functionality around `nil` and `false` values for the `db`
effect is preserved: the interceptors *are* run in this case. Tests are
added to verify the behavior of both functions in the case of
non-presence, falsey and truthy values.

The relevant docstrings are tweaked to accomodate this change.

Closes day8#453.
