Make system tests take failed screenshots in `before_teardown` hook
Previously we were calling the `take_failed_screenshot` method in an `after_teardown` hook. However, this means that other teardown hooks have to be executed before we take the screenshot. Since there can be dynamic updates to the page after the assertion fails and before we take a screenshot, it seems desirable to minimize that gap as much as possible. Taking the screenshot in a `before_teardown` rather than an `after_teardown` helps with that, and has a side benefit of allowing us to remove the nested `ensure` commented on here: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/34411#discussion_r232819478

+* Make system tests take a failed screenshot in a `before_teardown` hook
+ rather than an `after_teardown` hook.
+
+ This helps minimize the time gap between when an assertion fails and when
+ the screenshot is taken (reducing the time in which the page could have
+ been dynamically updated after the assertion failed).
