For SQLAlchemy to automatically understand updates from the
external world, it must use an `autocommit=True` in its session.
This change breaks how we were using commit previously, as
`autocommit=True` causes SQLAlchemy to commit when a
SessionTransaction context hits __exit__.
So, a refactoring was required of our tests: All usage of
any `db.{create,delete}` must be called **within** a
SessionTransaction context, created via new `db.begin()`.
From this point forward, we're going to require:
```
with db.begin():
db.create(...)
db.delete(...)
db.session.delete(object)
```
With this, we now get external DB modifications automatically
without reloading or restarting the FastAPI server, which we
absolutely need for production.

SQLite does not support native DECIMAL columns, and for that
reason, we had to switch to using Strings that can hold the data
in the case we are using sqlite.
This commit sets the TUVoteInfo model up in a generic way, that
it always converts to string when setting Quorum (OK for DECIMAL)
and always converts to float when getting Quorum.
This way, we can treat TUVoteInfo.Quorum as the same thing
everywhere.
