shoulda-matchers: Problems when running specs with Zeus

I’m using [zeus](https://github.com/burke/zeus) to pre-load the code, for when I’m running specs. It appears that zeus isn’t properly requiring shoulda-matchers library for some reason.

I see errors like this:

  1) User validations and associations
     Failure/Error: it { should belong_to(:account) }
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `belong_to' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_3:0x00000104b8d850>
     # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
     # -e:1:in `<main>'

  2) User validations and associations
     Failure/Error: it { should accept_nested_attributes_for(:account) }
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `accept_nested_attributes_for' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_3:0x00000104b94f88>
     # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:9:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
     # -e:1:in `<main>'

  3) User validations and associations
     Failure/Error: it { validate_presence_of(:account) }
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `validate_presence_of' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_3:0x00000104b9c800>
     # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:10:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
     # -e:1:in `<main>'

That’s because shoulda-matchers no longer installs itself into your test framework automatically. You’ll need to add this to your rails_helper:

Shoulda::Matchers.configure do |config|
  config.integrate do |with|
    with.test_framework :rspec
    with.library :rails
  end
end

Make sure you have type: :model as argument of the describe call in the model spec files.
