mint is taking forever

In the mint test it seems that the ameba check hangs. It seems to be caused by the internal API change in the compiler, which should be fixed by crystal-ameba/ameba#259
Funny thing is that ameba still compiles. The compiler changes only break ameba's specs, which we also observed. But the ameba app itself builds but the binary is unusable (it seems to run an endless loop). This is because the breaking changes just affect equality checks with symbols, which do not cause a compile time error. So that's actually a good example why using symbols is bad and it's good that we've refactored that.
Ameba just needs to be updated to the new API.

The failing spec in crystal-db is unrelated. It's just expecting a specific error message from string to int conversion, but the format has changed in crystal-lang/crystal#11883. This needs to be fixed in crystal-db (crystal-lang/crystal-db#163).
