Initialize and deploy

According to the instructions in Step 1, we need to do the following:

1. Generate the project: rails new . -j esbuild --css=bootstrap (this defaults to Minitest).
2. Add slim-rails and slim_lint.
3. Keep Minitest and have a dummy test.
4. No system tests (--skip-system-test?) (because I could not make them work in WSL2).
5. Have Faker and power-assert.
6. Rubocop and .rubocop.yml from the previous project.
7. Makefile (see the previous project).
8. Configure GitHub actions.
9. Deploy to Render[https://docs.render.com/deploy-rails].
10. Configure Rollbar[https://docs.rollbar.com/docs/ruby].
11. Hardcode the initial page as in the reference app with Bootstrap (navigation, main and footer; use placeholder images).

20240601: Here is the revised plan:

• [x] Generate the project: rails new . -j esbuild --css=bootstrap --skip-system-test (this defaults to Minitest).
• [x] Add slim-rails and slim_lint.
• [x] Restore system tests.
• [x] Add Faker and power-assert.
• [x] Write a system test checking "Hello world" on the root part.
• [x] Make the test pass by implementing a Welcome controller.
• [x] Add Rubocop and copy .rubocop.yml from the previous project.
• [x] Create a Makefile (see the previous project).
• [x] Configure GitHub actions.
• [x] Ensure the system tests work in GitHub actions.
• [x] Deploy to Render[https://docs.render.com/deploy-rails].
• [x] Configure Rollbar[https://docs.rollbar.com/docs/ruby].

Today, I managed to get the system tests run in a Rails project in my WSL2 system. The solution was to follow the Linux way but rely on the ability of WSL2 in Windows to run native Linux GUI apps (such as google-chrome). The matching versions of google-chrome and chromedriver did the trick.
