Add ability to prevent writes to a database
This PR adds the ability to prevent writes to a database even if the
database user is able to write (ie the database is a primary and not a
replica).
This is useful for a few reasons: 1) when converting your database from
a single db to a primary/replica setup - you can fix all the writes on
reads early on, 2) when we implement automatic database switching or
when an app is manually switching connections this feature can be used
to ensure reads are reading and writes are writing. We want to make sure
we raise if we ever try to write in read mode, regardless of database
type and 3) for local development if you don't want to set up multiple
databases but do want to support rw/ro queries.
This should be used in conjunction with `connected_to` in write mode.
For example:
```
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :writing) do
Dog.connection.while_preventing_writes do
Dog.create! # will raise because we're preventing writes
end
end
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading) do
Dog.connection.while_preventing_writes do
Dog.first # will not raise because we're not writing
end
end
```
