Logging out failed when the current user was cached by an instance of `Auth::DefaultCurrentUserProvider` and `#log_off_user` was called on a different instance of that class.

This happened when a middleware accessed the `currentUser` before a controller had a chance to populate the `action_dispatch.request.path_parameters` env variable. In that case Discourse would always cache `nil` as `currentUser`.
We intend to switch to the `:json` serializer, which will stringify all keys. However, we need a clean revert path. This commit ensures that our `_t` cookie handling works with both marshal (the current default) and json (the new default) serialization.
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.
