This milestone lays the foundation for "Milestone:
Use local instance statistics to guide webmasters when configuring PoW”. The work from this PR will be used to improve the “easy mode” for installing mCaptcha0

We currently make guesstimate difficulty factors in easy mode, but with this work, we could ask questions like: "How long do you want your visitors to wait before entering site and what percentile of devices do you want to cover?"

If successful, computing percentile scores will enable us to migrate from difficulty factor based configurations, which is very unwieldy, to wait time in seconds.

Tests in the previous PR were failing due to unrelated reasons:

Creating a separate database for each test is provided out-of-the box in “batteries included” web frameworks. I was using hacks to get test isolation, and it finally broke for this test. This PR creates separate databases for all tests. So tests are more stable now.

Fixed in follow-up PR: mCaptcha/survey#21
