Better document the difference between #clone and #dup.

Add #nodoc to initialize_dup and use :method: to document the #dup method.

##
# :method: clone
# Identical to Ruby's clone method. This is a "shallow" copy. Be warned that your attributes are not copied.
# That means that modifying attributes of the clone will modify the original, since they will both point to the
# same attributes hash. If you need a copy of your attributes hash, please use the #dup method.
#
# Example:
#
# user = User.first
# new_user = user.clone
# user.name # => "Bob"
# new_user.name = "Joe"
# user.name # => "Joe"
#
# user.object_id == new_user.object_id # => false
# user.name.object_id == new_user.name.object_id # => true
#
# Use #dup instead, for a copy of the attributes hash.
# user.name.object_id == user.dup.name.object_id # => false
##
# :method: dup
# Duped objects have no id assigned and are treated as new records. Note
# that this is a "shallow" copy as it copies the object's attributes
# only, not its associations. The extent of a "deep" copy is application
# specific and is therefore left to the application to implement according
# to its need.
# The dup method does not preserve the timestamps (created|updated)_(at|on).
##
# :nodoc:
def initialize_dup(other)
cloned_attributes = other.clone_attributes(:read_attribute_before_type_cast)
self.class.initialize_attributes(cloned_attributes)
