Removing this feature causes boost in performance when using Ruby 1.9.

Ruby 1.9 started to do implicit conversions using `to_ary` and `to_str`
in some STDLIB methods (like Array#join). To do such implicit conversions,
Ruby 1.9 always dispatches the method and rescues the NoMethodError exception
in case one is raised.

Therefore, since the whiners feature defined NilClass#method_missing, such
implicit conversions for nil became much, much slower. In fact, just defining
NilClass#method_missing (even without the whiners feature) already causes a
massive slow down. Here is a snippet that shows such slow down:

    require "benchmark"
    Benchmark.realtime { 1_000.times { [nil,nil,nil].join } }

    class NilClass
      def method_missing(*args)
        raise NoMethodError
      end
    end

    Benchmark.realtime { 1_000.times { [nil,nil,nil].join } }

Fix a failure in railties on ruby 1.8.x

In Ruby 1.8.x, config.encoding sets $KCODE.
Therefore, the possible values are UTF8, SJIS, or EUC.
And, if we set SJIS, we'll has the error. Because some rails sources are written in utf-8 encoding.

Fix warning for params_wrapper_test.rb

updates the host and port of publish_docs, and changes the release instructions to use the task rather than curl (thanks to Vijay Dev for spotting this one)

ParamsWrapper only wrap the accessible attributes when they were set

Assign config.encoding to AD::Response.default_charset at the initialization time.
