/**
 * Imports a model as we would usually do with e.g. `require('models/User')`
 * an returns a model an schema, but without connecting to Mongo. This allows
 * us to use model classes in tests, and to use them with `sinon-mongoose`
 *
 * @param  modelName the name of the model - e.g. 'User'
 * @param  requires  additional `requires` to be passed to SanboxedModule in
 *                   the event that these also need to be stubbed. For example,
 *                   additional dependent models to be included
 *
 * @return model and schema pair - e.g. { User, UserSchema }
